Test Run
Hired a sporty Chrysler for a few days & James drove us into the Rockies - one of his favorite places during winter & very lovely in summer too even though it was cloudy & rainy. We stopped at McMahon Stadium on the way so he could show us where he worked last summer for the Calgary Stampeders football team. He was part of the equipment team & was lucky enough to work for them the year they won the Grey Cup - pinnacle of Canadian football. He was warmly welcomed & showed us the ground & the change rooms which are all very classy & spacious - obviously plenty of money in this game here. Drove west into the Rockies & were surprised again how they rise straight up out of the plains & look so amazing - like they've been pushed up by hand, one on top of the other - I love it! Headed straight to Lake Louise where we spent the "real" turn of the century New Year from 2000 - 2001 & it was just great to be there again in such a beautiful place for a quick visit. Back to Banff for the night & watched the the first ice hockey finals game in a bar before walking back along the river & seeing our first beaver in the shallows! Back to Calgary next day with a scenic tour of Canmore on the way & went out to dinner on our last night to Cilantro on 17th for a celebration of our great time together. We had the BEST time with our James in Alaska & Canada & can't wait till we see him again.
