We live near the Prince’s Island in Calgary that is a popular place for different events in the summer. One of the most known is the Folk Festival that has been held in Calgary already 34 years. We had bought the tickets already early on to find out what the festival will be like and […]

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 […]
As many of you know, we love to eat and cook good food and help it down with nice wine. Now we have had 4 months of finding different places to buy food and wine and visit restaurants and we have developed our favourites. We love the food we buy from Spud.ca – an internet […]
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 […]
As I’ve written before, I started working with a coach in the beginning of April to get my company started more efficiently and faster. Now I have been doing the homework every week, figuring out what my niche could be, meeting people and doing my market research in getting to know whether the niche I’m […]
Given our taste for a beer, we have tried and tested a few establishments by now. I still haven’t found the beer that I could enjoy as much as I enjoy beers in Estonia. But we have a few favourite pubs to go to. The common problem with the beers here is that they are […]
This Saturday we decided that we go and see the different galleries that we have noticed around downtown Calgary. We went to yoga class, then out for a lunch at Bumpy’s – very nice little café with excellent choice of everything. We had printed out a map with addresses of all the galleries that we […]
Last Sunday we went to see a hockey game – Calgary Flames vs Phoenix Coyotes (a.k.a. Prairie Dogs). Neither myself nor my husband have ever been hockey fans, but since we had a chance to go and see a local team play in a country where the national sport clearly is hockey, we did not […]
