I got off the plane in Calgary, and it was like stepping onto the scottish highlands. Foggy, rainy, and cold. Like, 40 degrees cold. So, I was not prepared. Also, it made for really crappy picture taking. Here we are in the foothills of the Rockies, and not one Rocky appeared all day. Boo. All my pictures looked like they were taken through a wet piece of tarp, so I decided you could just go onto some Calgary tourist site and get a better feel for what this city is about.
Having been to Calgary 6 years ago as part of ye olde honeymoon, I was expecting to have a real nostalgic type feeling for the town which would make the experience enjoyable despite the weather issues. Turns out, it was actually the Velogirl who made this place fun and, dare I say? exotic the first time around.
Huh. Goes to show that people probably put too much thought into planning their perfect honeymoon. After all, you're probably going to be happy wherever you go with the person you so recently married and (hopefully) are fond of. At least that was my experience.
Although, if you can go to a place for a day or two where they have really fresh chocolate milk and a stampede and Alpacas!, and then move onto a place like THIS for the rest of the time, I recommend it highly. Just sayin'.
I am hoping that I'll have more luck in Vancouver today--it's supposed to be in the 50's there! Happy days! At the very least, my flight is an early one today, so I'll have a little more time to maybe explore. And dry out the camera.
