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. But they did and also adopted a new slogan – Come Hell or High Water! They sold lots of T-shirts with that logo and the proceeds went to the flood support fund. The only […]
It has become a good habit of ours to go and explore Calgary on bikes at least twice a month. Last Saturday we felt especially strong and decided to cycle to the Fish Creek Park – the largest urban park in Canada. The pathway took us down South along the Bow river, we went through […]

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 […]
It definitely feels like we have skipped spring and went from Sprinter directly to Summer. Just last Monday it was snowing and last Sunday was already +24C and it has been like that since then and supposedly will continue for a week. I am very happy about that – I have missed the Sun tremendously! […]
In between the snowy and windy days, we actually managed to go for a cycle trip finally. There are so many bike paths everywhere around us and we have been waiting for the weather to improve for ages. On Sunday we decided to venture out early and take a short trip along the Bow river […]
