I went to Fort Edmonton today. My company was having a barbecue there so we all got free admission. It was my first time in the park, but I didn’t have time to really wander around and get an in-depth view of it. More of a high-level view where I get to see a few things quickly.
The whole thing looked very… educational.
The fort itself was interesting and it was surprising to see what looked like a mansion within the wooden walls.
The horses in the park all looked bored. They would just stand there and stare forward. Very little energy. I talked to a driver and found that they were all old. They aren’t worked very hard. They have a good life.
It is awkward to talk to the workers there if they are in character. We both know it is pretend, so who are we trying to fool? Sometimes I have a question and I don’t want the runaround of how you have to travel two days to the homestead. How much bread do you make in a day?! Really?
Ironic, because I usually like to encourage roleplaying.
