A flying visit to Calgary in May allowed me only to see a little part of the city. Here's the view from my hotel room towards the river (the Bow?) and my Sunday stroll in that park...
Colleagues told me the snow had just gone the week before despite the fact it was the 2nd week in May. However it was easily warm enough to sit out and have my lunch at the River Cafe and view this furry little creature on a tree close by - a black squirrel. I've never seen such an animal before but I am told they are common in Calgary.
I also went up the Calgary Tower to see the city laid out below.Very flat..until you get to the mountains.....
This particular view - straight down - did have me a little spooked!
I had very little time to do anything else except try the wonderful food and explore a shopping mall or two. However this tantalising view of the mountains from the 20th floor of the Shell offices where I was working was enough to make me regret I hadn't hired a car! Only an hours drive..
This is the only view I managed to get of Calgary's downtown, just before I left.
Amd finally a very clever seat configuration so that everybody had aisle access. And the view of the plains as we flew into Calgary.
