In the first week of exploring Calgary we found a fantastic Park, Price's Island Park to be precise. This has become a favourite haunt for us all, but Eron and Flinn in particular love being there and it has become part of the daily routine.
One of the of the surprising aspects of the park, is the variety of wildlife we've seen and all in the shadow of the downtown skyscrapers. We've spotted, Beaver (and it's rather impressive lodge), Black Squirrels, Snowshoe Hares and the rather plentiful Canada Goose.
As well as the wildlife there is plenty of space and a great play park for young and old alike to let off some steam.
We're also very close to the Telus World of Science which we visited on May 2nd to view the fantastic Bodyworlds exhibition.
(http://www.bodyworlds.com/en.html). This is an amazing display about the workings of the Human body using plasticised parts and whole bodies donated from people all around the World.
Bringing back a few memories for me. I taught people to climb based out of Canmore back in 1991 and visited Hot Springs, Canmore, Banff etc. Glad all is well. Keep in touch. Jez
