Calgary, Alberta

6/4/13           

The four of us toured the Heritage Village Historical Park today under beautiful blue skies and mild weather.  This park allows you to walk thorough Canadian history in farms, villages, and early towns talking to period dressed actors learning about early life in Canada.  Churches, newspapers, and the railroad created the cohesiveness to settle the western lands much like our history in the United States.

Next we ventured downtown to see a very modern city on the plains and foothills of Alberta.  We provide below a few pictures from the Calgary Tower sitting about 525 feet about the city.  After an early dinner we toured the Olympic Park just west of town and headed back to our camp at Calaway Park RV on Canadian Highway 1.

Tomorrow we head west into Banff National Park for a few days.
