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 […]
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. […]
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 […]

During the time for fasting according to old traditions we took on time to detox. Detox is just a milder form of fasting – at least for us. We did not consume alcohol or red meat for the entire period and gradually reduced the types of foods we ate and then built up again. It […]
We got a lot of things done past Saturday – after the successful purchase of our cowboy and girl wear we went to Calgary WineFest. http://www.celebratewinefest.com/calgary.html It was held at the Stampede Grounds in a Big Four building – it is a very big building. We had got the tickets to the Saturday afternoon session and […]
I decided that Canmore – where we went next and where we stayed overnight, deserves a separate blog post on its own. We had heard lots of people recommend Canmore as a nice alternative to Banff, but we did not expect to fall in love with Canmore. It is smaller than Banff and has this small […]
Yesterday we celebrated the anniversary with my husband of when we decided to give each other a second chance. It was February 10, 2011 when I had flown to London for my CTI coaching course for the weekend and we met up for dinner in London for the third time, but this time we took […]
