LIVE UPDATE - # 1
After an uneventful flight last night (though my row didn't have windows which was a little weird) I was met at the airport by Anne. We were both wearing cowboy hats, as is a significant percentage of the rest of the people here. (I would say depending on the area about 2% - 30% are rocking it cowboy style.) I got a tour of the city in Anne's sweet little car and a quick bite to eat at a super trendy place that reminded me just how cool and urban Anne has always been. The food and atmosphere was amazing. Actually, so far I have really loved everything about Calgary. I could definitely live here if life takes me west at some point. They have some vibrant little neighbourhoods, a booming downtown, lots of wild green spaces, really interesting geological features, and you can see mountains in the distance. Calgary has stolen a little piece of my heart and I'm very excited for my upcoming Stampede experience!
Nice to see that you are being properly treated by your Stempded host...
ReplyDeleteSpelling fail.
ReplyDeleteCalgary sounds great, I hope someday you do get to live there and I will have an excuse to come visit (often)
