Back amongst new chums

... would drive herds of buffalo over the edge of a high precipice to their death. It also tells the sorry tale of how the North American buffalo was almost completely extinguished because of over hunting by the European settlers who sought the furs and hides for clothing.

That night we headed to the Blarney Stone with Nick & Allison, this is a bar in Lethbridge owned by Nick’s brother Nathan. We had a great ...

The best thanksgiving I've ever had!!!

... us to dive into the most impressive spread of food I have ever seen. My first taste of homemade pumpkin pie, wow!
We drank beers, played cards then headed home to drink more beers!

It was great to see both Adam & Laura again, and to meet more top people like Nick & Allison was brilliant. Oh and Nick and Allison gain extra points for naming their extremely cute kitten Bruce Campbell after the amazing b-movie actor.

22/05/08: Writting on stone provincial park

... Mais ce qu'il y a de particulier, c'est que les paléontologues ont découverts des oeufs de dinosaures presque intacts avec l'embryon dedans. Incroyable, et les oeufs paraissent vraiment tous récents! Puis sur le trajet vers notre destination grandiose de la journée on a croisé 3 Pranghorn antelopes C'est une espèce d'antilope, unique dans son genre, qui habite les prairies sèches et plates plates plates d'Amérique du Nord, précisément ...

Kapitel 12 / Chapter 12

... und sogar Maenner-jagende Bullen. :) Am Sonntag gings dann weiter nach Calgary wo wir am Flughafen Jenn trafen (Sie kommt aus Ontario und auch sie kennt Tamina von ihrem UNP Trip). Sandra war zuerst noch etwas skeptisch mit all den Leuten, die sie noch nicht kannte, doch nach 5 min wusste sie, dass man Jenn einfach lieben muss. Zu viert gingen wir dann in den Calgary Zoo und ins Shoppingcentre (wo auch Tamina endlich Cowboy-Stiefel fand). Nach einem ...

... re bien d'ailleurs! C'est vraiment encourageant. Enfin voilà, faut encore que je peaufine mon protocole en attendant l'émergence de mes copains!! Après ce sympathique meeting, je suis repartie comme je suis venue, toute emmitouflée dans mon écharpe, bonnet et gros gants, pour me diriger vers... un magasin de miam, bah oui, faut bien que je mange! Alors, ce qui a de bien ici, c'est les grosses bouteilles de lait de 4L (limiter les emballages pour sauver la ...

Fort Macleod

We loved our time at Lake Louise. It was certainly the White Christmas Tom wanted as well as being a delightful place to stay. This morning we packed again and caught a bus to Banff where we had booked a Hertz rental car. Tom had indulged himself by booking a Volvo so Ruth was surprised when we were given a dirty Ford Explorer, which is a large SUV; quite different! The roads ...

Fort Macleod and the prairies

... turned out bright and sunny - it was time to explore... We set off, just a 10 mile trip to a place called :Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump" - well you'd just have to go wouldn't you? We'd seen this name on the map whilst in Calgary, now we were on the way; tipis in the distance were the first clue. Had we been two weeks earlier we could have overnighted in one of these - exciting eh? Betsy tried to hide her ...

Finally the road trip starts

... town I saw, so I continued on to Medicine Hat, arriving there about 5pm. I was hoping to check my self into a campground there with relative ease, however being a long weekend with no reservation made it a little tougher than I thought it was going to be. I got lucky though and there was one left after 6:30pm. Tomorrow I head into prairie country long flat unchanging landscape which may test me I feel.
