Canada
Right now I’m sitting by the window in our hotel room, with a view out over the city of Calgary. It’s still dark outside, but I’ve been awake for hours, still not used to the time difference with London :). I arrived into this beautiful country yesterday for a holiday with Michael.
At the moment I can see lots of lights and lots of snow. The snow has made a real impression so far, flying across this incredibly vast country yesterday, with this expanse of white below that went on and on.
Over the next days we will travel north to a town in the foothills of the Rockies, back to Calgary once more, and lastly making our way west to Vancouver. We’ll even be in time for the Winter Olympics, and it will be so fun to see the added atmosphere this will bring to the city.
I’m hoping to post photos from time to time and describe some of what we’re seeing, depending on when I can get to the internet, and definitely when we’re home again :)
Yay :) Have a wonderful time :)
I’m going to redo the phrase “the life of Riley” and begin dreaming about “the life of Birgit!”
My gracious, Dear Friend! Have a wonderful time. I hear the view is breathtaking. My best friend in college was a Viking woman from Calgary.
I can’t wait to see pictures! Enjoy your holiday… ;)
Welcome to Canada, eh. :) Hope you’re enjoying your trip and the view.
Thanks so much Rain! :) We just got back today and had the most wonderful time! I can’t wait to write about it soon, and post some of the photos, it really is such a stunning country! :) I hope you’re well my friend xo

Ha, ha, that’s so funny Michelle! :) Wow, what a beautiful part of the world your friend grew up in – breathtaking is the perfect word, the Rockies just north of Calgary were truly out of this world. Quite overwhelming. I can’t wait to write more about it soon, and get some photos up :)
I’m really looking forward to catching up on your blog too, hope you’re well xo

That’s so lovely Hope, thanks! :) What a truly beautiful country you have! So much of what we saw through the Rockies and then into British Columbia to Vancouver, was so magnificent! Such a constant reminder of God in His creation too, I found. Really beautiful! I can’t wait for you to see the photos and hear your thoughts :)
