One final blog

---

Well we are packed, breakfasted and sitting in our our hotel room, ready to set off for the airport and the long journey home.

Our final day was spent at Stampede watching the rodeo. If they could sit on it the Cowboys tried to ride it. Not always very successfully. They certainly earned any cash they won. Surprisingly in this country of extremes daily prize money is small.

Our abiding memory however will be the horses herding steers. The speed and turning ability of these is quite amazing and is not just for show but has a real use back on the vast ranches.

Took hundreds of photos. Joy wonders why so many. She has a point.



So we will be back soon. Hope these blogs have kept you vaguely amused. It's been fun!
