CALAGRY

ok with spotty Wi-Fi I will try to post something... arrived here in calagry on tues around noon..got set up then off to a welcome gathering and to get our schedule of events that will be going on and by the sounds of things we are going to be busy... yesterday we boarded the bus at 8am to go off for free breakfast..the stampeded committee does a pancake breakfast every morning for everyone who wants it..they serve pancakes with a piece of bacon cooked in it served on some very fine china (napkin)..must say they were good pancakes.. then off to the Calgary tower to see the city from high up--then glenbow museum for a few hrs and didn't have enough time to see it all... now it is on the Canada Olympic village and and their hall of fame..again not enough time to see it all but we sure tried..then on to dinner and back to the rig at 7 and to bed shortly after 9..it is still light out so when I go to bed it is almost liking taking a nap in the afternoon as it is so light out... as e drove up here we saw field after field of very bright yellow flowers and come to find out it is canola (oil)...weather has been good and there are very few sights of any flooding...the city sure went to work cleaning up the city after the flooding..understand they took all the dirt out of the stampeded grounds dried it and put it bvack...sure understand that this is a real money maker for the city...lots and lots of people all over and streets are closed for activities... no pictures going this morning I will try again at another time..
