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 […]
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, […]

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! […]
