Day 47 and 48 Calgary and Arrival to US
We started out our Sunday going to church in SW Calgary. Our new camping friends, Martin and Anne, suggested First Alliance Church and it was a great suggestion. We had a wonderful, spirit filled worship with an excellent message about unity with in Christian community. It was a message that we needed to hear and it comforted our souls. After church we visited the sights of Calgary. We walked around the Olympic Park and saw the bobsled and luge tracks. It was a beautiful day to be outdoors. After this we visited the Lougheed mansion and it was setting in the downtown area and very pretty. The residents were involved in the early 1900 development of Calgary. Lastly we visited the Calgary Tower which was the highest building. It was interesting to see the city from heights. We had a great tour guide who included the history of the town. Calgary has an interesting history with the cattle, oil and mineral business.
After our touring we went back to the campground and visited with our neighbors and had supper. It was a very relaxing time and a beautiful night.
This morning we said our farewells to Martin and Anne and drove south toward the US. We stopped at a gem- a carriage museum and it was extremely interesting with tons of carriages of all kinds in excellent shape. We enjoyed it and came out on overload with history of the uses of carriages. We arrived in the US around 2 PM this afternoon. We got our camp site and get anchor! Afterwards we went to the Visitor Center and watched couple of movies about the park. We came back to the campground to wash clothes. It is amazing how dirty one gets doing nothing! Now we are kicking back and relaxing!
Tomorrow we will be doing an all day tour of Glacier!
