Calgary Here We Come!

We are off to Calgary for the Stampede. We leave the mountains and the landscape becomes flat and frankly boring compared to what we have experienced. Three of us snooze in the car but it is only 1.5 hours from Banff. Our hotel room is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom suite with a kitchen and living area - it is perfect! The hotel clerks all have cowgirl hats on and western music is playing We are in the mood! We take a drive to find the Stampede grounds. We decide to pass on entering for the evening because we are all pooped out. We find out that the grounds do not open until 11 the next morning which is good - no one is in a hurry in Calgary! Our hotel is near the airport and oddly enough our room overlooks a golf course with the planes taking off and landing in the distance. I guess you and "fly and play" in Calgary
