Day 20 – Calgary Stampede
What a day! So glad we got to experience the stampede.
The fun began when we all donned our Dollarama hats ($4 each).
We arrived early and spent some time sampling the food and drinks.
Our seats were in the sun to begin with but once the shade hit, the experience just got better and better.
The local was shut (and very dodgy) so we came home and ordered pizza. A great day!
Day 21 July 13 – exploring Calgary
We caught Ubers to the city and went up the Observatory Tower.
Had some lunch and headed to the zoo. We had some animals to still see, including penguins, polar bear, grizzly bear, a moose, caribou and a bison. Danny also wanted to see the the gorillas.
We then hit the African section.
Madonna and Danny also made it into the Asian section.
We came back to the house and the boys wandered down to the local saloon for a drink. It is never one drink. Next minute, a call, ‘Did we want to come down and join them for dinner and drinks?’
Was one of the best nights. Great waitress, great food, lots of drinks and all reasonably priced!
We finished the day in the back yard – still daylight after 9pm. Wayne began one of story telling sessions and had himself (and us) in stitches.
