Canada Pix

Here are some photos of my journey. I've decide the next two weeks I'll get some more interesting pictures.

The first week and last day was spent in Calgary. I just love the Evergreen trees in Canada. They are gorgeous and seem to be so different than the trees we have in the Pacific Northwest. I have to do some research to find out what they are exactly. They kind of look like nobel firs, but with a deeper, darker green. Calgary's skyline. . .



From Calgary to Edmonton, AB. On Monday I spent the afternoon in Maidstone, Saskatchewan at the Royal Canadian Legion. Here's a picture of a wall at the legion of Queen Elizabeth of Windsor, you know I just love the royals (The Queen is one of my favorite movies) and now that I have a passport I am going to plan a trip to England. . . to see J and O.



From Maidstone to Medicine Hat. Here's a pix of the Alberta Prairie, lot of cows and we came across two herds of Elk. Wish I could have caught a picture of the Elk. . . and at least the cows. I guess Alberta Beef is world famous. . .



Last leg of the road trip. My counterpart did a fantastic job driving the whole week. She got us everywhere safely. The weather was fantastic both weeks, well the skies were clear, anyway. It was still freezing and mostly below freezing.



I am now home for two days. It's so nice to bond with the kitties and Jim. Lots of naps in my future. Back to Edmonton on Monday. I am hoping I won't be in customs for 1.5 hours this time around. The Road is My Home, my Home the Road. I can now safely say the sky is my home as well. Getting a lot of airport experience.
