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 […]

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 […]
Time has gone unbelievably fast – in two days we are already off on our vacation back to Estonia and we have been in Calgary almost 6 months. It has been very busy 6 months and we both feel like we definitely deserve a good holiday. Knowing the schedule while we will be at home, […]
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 […]

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 […]
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. […]
We have lived in Calgary for over 3 months now, but still have not bought ourselves a car. It was a conscious decision to see if we need one and how well do we cope without. For weekends when we want to go skiing or just visit some new places in the Rockies, we rent […]
