We took another look at the weather and decided it would be okay to go to Lake Louise after all so we headed out for Calgary, Alberta today. Poor Bill. The wind he had to drive in was terrible! However, we did arrive in Calgary and ended up staying in the Blackfoot Casino parking lot. It was great. We were allowed 3 free nights stay and the weather was cool enough that we didn’t need air conditioning so it worked perfectly for us. We planned on going to the “Calgary Stampede” rodeo but changed our minds once we realized how crowded it would be and how many people attend. They expected over 1,000,000 people in a week – about 100,000 a day. We drove to where the event was being held and realized there was too much walking involved. Bill had hurt his knee and was hobbling and, of course, I wouldn’t have been able to walk much so we just relaxed for two days.
