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 […]

Everything about food wine beer and how to cook or where to consume
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 […]
We had been to a travel fair earlier in the year where we found out that there is Waterton Park near the Southern Border of Alberta. It is connected with the Waterton Glacier’s Park that is on the other side of the border – in the US. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and […]
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 […]
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 […]
Heard a saying on the radio today that so well describes the weather conditions here in Calgary – ‘the season that has formerly been known as Spring has been renamed to Sprinter’. All throughout March, I was amazed at the amount of sunshine here in Calgary and was convinced that spring will be here soon. […]
After last Tuesday’s +19C in Calgary, the weather went back to being very wintery. Overcast and cold and by today -11 and 6cm of snow. Nevertheless we believe that spring will not be long now and Easter Sunday we planted some seeds as a start of our herb garden. We had been to Canadian Tire […]
We only have Friday off here in Canada, so we had rented a car already Thursday evening to be able to go to the mountains early on Friday. We put on the ski kit and packed the bags and went straight to the Nordic Centre of Canmore. http://www.albertaparks.ca/canmore-nordic-centre.aspx The weather was fantastic – sunshine and +8 […]
The weather is still cold most of the days, but the snow is almost gone and the river is halfway ice free. It is the first time I saw the Bow river without ice covering it and I surprised to find out how shallow it is in the middle. It is very fast – coming […]
