This one will be pretty quick as we got really busy today .... not supposed to happen when you are retired, eh? Here is the view out the front of the bus on the way from Moose Jaw to Calgary ... can we have a tree please. Actually we were very surprised that this type of scenery is very short lived, being just here in Alberta, as opposed to Manitoba and Saskatchewan which had a lot of rolling hills and treed terrain.

We did stop to see a professional associate of Dad's who works at the University of Calgary and a couple of pictures were taken which we will post later. I had a nice chat with Dr. Brent Ritchie and his wife Rosemary and was able to pass on some more recent information about Dad to them and vice versa. This was a really nice visit with some great people. Dr. Ritchie is the chair of the World Tourism Program at the University of Calgary and his and dad's work over the many years make the type of tourism I am enjoying, possible.

While hard to see, this is shot from our campsite tonight, looking to the east, and the structures you see are what is left of the Calgary Olypics in 1998. That's the big ski jump tower you can just barely see in the center of the picture. We are in a very nice park on the west side of town which used to be a KOA but now is private.

We are off to Canmore, Alberta tomorrow, which is about 12 miles from Banff, and we'll spend at least one night there ... probably more depending on weather in the mountains. Maybe we'll have computer support ... but really don't know.
