In our hotel: welcoming bouquets, one for each of us, from cousin Paul

Two of my sisters, the eldest and the youngest, and I are in Winnipeg for the first time in at least a decade.

We're here to visit our cousins Paul and Susan, the youngest son and oldest daughter of my mother's second oldest sister and second oldest brother, respectively. 

Family can get a little confusing.

We're staying at a newish hotel - the Mere - by the Red River, close to the Forks and the Human Rights Museum.

Over an Italian-wedding-scale meal featuring something from every part of the Cibo menu (do try the pickerel fritto; avoid the salmon and dill pizza), we sorted out some of the intricacies of the family history.

We also made some plans. 

Stay tuned.
