I started to wander towards downtown around noon and got drawn by huge BEST BUY banners so I found the store and did a little browsing. First I picked up a wireless mouse to use with this laptop because it is so much easier to operate from a distance at times. Then I kept going back to look at this little Samsung camera because I had been hankering for a pocket camera for those situations where dragging the big camera isn't desired. Finally a saleslady came to help me and I got to try it out and I was impressed! It also has a Panorama feature, so that is a huge plus.
Then I got a call from my old sweet co-worker Janice and she came to meet me then suggested that we zip out to Canmore for a drive so I readily agreed. I haven't been there in many years but it hasn't changed much. I really loved working right in the mountains and having that awesome sight available 24-7.
I bought us an awesome fish 'n chip supper at the Rose & Crown. I have been craving that meal since I got to Canada, and this was my second opportunity to enjoy it.
I have also been in contact with other old friends and that will help while away the days until I need to depart.
I am missing my house and my own amenities, but I am enjoying myself with my old buddy Keith who has always been a good friend and ally.
I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement, Cheers, Al
