Day 4.....
We arrived safe & sound in Calgary and immediately donned our cowby hats to join in with some Stampede action! At said event we saw bucking bronco's, steer wrestling (which basically involved a cowboy jumping off his horse & wrestling a bull to the ground!), bull riding & chuck wagon racing.
The weather is gorgeous and the locals are friendly. The city itself is tiny compared to London and very personable. The Stampede is a huge thing here and everyone gets in on the act with free breakfasts of pancakes, bacon & maple syrup (Jess I can hear your taste buds!), along with dancing and singing in the streets - we even got 'roped' into Square Dancing with the local cowboys and cowgirls!
We are picking up our RV today and heading into the Rocky Mountians, so until next time......yeeha!

Glad you've made it safe and sound. Am very jealous about the pancakes too! You're not missing anything here - we living in 36 degree heat at the moment and it is unbearable! Love the cowboy hats........! jx
