As I sit in a Butte Starbucks waiting for my car maintenance to finish I figured I might as well do some blogging. Hmmm, setting aside thoughts on what that means that I decide to spend all my time blogging…I recently had a glorious trip to Calgary. It was my first trip to western Canada and, it may be because of the great friends that I took the trip with as well, but I was really impressed with the city. My love affair with Canada continues. Over the next few days I will be sharing little notes and pictures as I travel eastward to Kentucky but I wanted to share Calgary with you as well. One of the first events that we (Jason, Preston and I) attended was a performance of some Mozart and Beethoven pieces by the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra. I love live music and it was really a revelation. We had seats behind the orchestra and I found myself constantly imagining being overcome by progressing and receding tides of auditory beauty. Seriously, I almost started sweating. And not all of that can be explained by the glass of wine I had before the performance ;)
I will post some more collages next of delicious food we had at a local Vietnamese pho shop, an incredible dim sum joint and a quirky eatery specializing in the Canadian specialty known as “poutine” called “The BIg Cheese” over what remains of this week.
