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 […]

what we do to work out here includes some tips and tricks
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Yes, it is possible and yes, it has happened to me now. I have been working out every single week since I arrived here in Calgary with the exception of last week when I was at home with fever (spring flu of some sorts). Every week we have been going to gym 2-3 times a […]
Enjoying a quiet day with my husband at home. Both of us sitting in front of our computers and doing our stuff. Every now and then I get a call to come over and help him – mainly with logging into his Estonian bank account that he thinks is too complicated for non-Estonians. I just […]
One month has passed quickly settling in. I had a few goals for this first month being here, some of them I have completed, the others are still in process. Some things were not really a goal on their own, but I have done them anyway. One of the goals was to start a regular […]
started already Friday evening, when we went to buy ourselves a new bed. With our move to a new flat on February 1st, we are trying to get as many things done beforehand, so that we wouldn’t have to stay in an empty flat for too long. Fortunately the bed-buying went really well thanks to […]
Quite contrary to my normal habits, I have started going to the gym 3-4 times a week. I’m taking advantage of my husband being a fitness guru and practitioner and kind enough to give me a set of exercises to do as well. At first I wasn’t too enthusiastic – it was hard to motivate […]
