Left OC on Friday morning to travel up to Edmonton, Canada for the Grey Cup. This is Canada's version of the Super Bowl. Met up with Cole towards the end of team dinner and met a few coaches and the general manager of the Roughriders. We headed over to one of the pregame parties for the Roughrider fans, and got to slide by the hour long line in to the event.
Explored the city on my own the next day and met Cole for lunch and some hang time. Later had dinner with Cole at Rick's Grill. He treated after losing at paper, scissors, rock.
Took buses a couple hours early over to the stadium, and I do believe the Roughrider fans may be more enthusiastic than the Packers, or the Montana Grizzlies. The whole event was a very cool production. Fly bys, half time entertainment, and great fans make it a fun event. We lost the game, so the post game dinner was a bit somber.
Got to the airport early the next morning to be told that the flight had been canceeled, but they had me booked on the same flight the next day. This wasn't going to work, as I was supposed to catch a flight that evening to the Phlippines. Arrangements were finally worked out so that after three stops I would reach Orange County by late afternoon, but enough time to catch my evening flight
