O! Canada...

yay for another weekend in Calgary, Alberta! This time was by far better than last... even though it had potential to kinda suck, due to poor planning on our part. We almost didn't get tickets to the Flames game, which is the whole reason for going in the first place (among others) and we had just about given up hope. Then we were saved by a bartender at the French Maid. We had gone there to drink our sorrows away... but we told her our sob story and she gave us a few numbers to call for tickets. We ended up making it to the game after all, and WOW was it great. Calgary won 2-1 against their rivals, the Edmonton Oilers. My voice was hoarse the next day from all the yelling that I did. Then Sunday, before we headed home, we stopped off at the Calgary Zoo. it was pretty cool (my first zoo trip). Most of the exhibits were so-so, but there were these monkeys that must have been on crack or something because they could not sit still. They were a lot of fun to watch... probably could have stayed there all day watching those things. It was snowing on the way home which made me happy because it's so early, and lately winter in Montana has been a little lacking in the snow department. Snowboarding is just around the corner, and I'm anxious to check out what Canada has to offer in Whistler, B.C.
