When travelling back from our vacation in Estonia, we happened to sit next to a Norwegian chap who was going to world championships in ploughing. We had never heard of it, so we asked tons of questions and since the event was happening just 1 hour drive from Calgary, we decided to go and see […]
Finally the big show started! There was lots of speculation whether the organisers will get everything cleaned up after the floods.

Vacation was very nice. It was great to go back to old digs, meet good friends and spend time with family. It was also very action packed with trying to get everything done that we had planned and meet everyone we wanted. Coming back to Calgary feels like vacation from vacation now. It is good […]

We are keeping ourselves busy in exploring different events and places in Calgary. Since we both like our beer, Beer Festival was a logical place to go. They promised lots of different beers from local brewers, tasty snacks and entertainment. We purchased the Beer Geek VIP tickets, so that we could get there 1 hour […]
