Svenson's in Gimli

In Gimli (on the west side of lake Winnipeg)

Doing some fact checking... Somewhat stunned.... Lake winnipeg is the world's 10th largest lake! 436km long and 111 wide... I knew it was a big lake... not that big.

Windermere 18km long ,1.5 wide, Coniston 8.8 Km long 800m wide

Lake Winnipeg is the size of 1600 Windermeres, 5000 Conistons - forget lakes 10 times the size of the lake district and is longer than Kendal to London

enough stats

Gimli is an Icelandic town, and Svensons is a fuxture.

Search Gimli Glider - amazing aviation story Boeing loaded with Lbs fuel not Kg and ran out half way at 41,000 ft. The pilot Bob Pearson glided the plane in and landed at the old Gimli Airstrip. Flying a passenger plane with no engines is now part of training and Chelsey Sullenberger who landed an airbus in the East River after a double birdstrike took out both engines, credited Capn Pearson and the Gimli Glider as the reason he was prepared.

Terri is selling smoked Gold Eye, Sunfish, whitefish and catfish. All caught by the family.

Pickeral is a local delicacy and when working in Winnipeg, I decided to live on Pickeral for a few days (embrace the local). No smoked Pickeral for breakfast but the Pickeral cheeks are delicious.
