Out on the town in Calgary...

Just got home from a night at the "Rocky Mountain Wine and Food" festival at the Stampede Grounds, downtown Calgary. I'm not sure if this is "blog" worthy, but I thought you might be interested to see how we are keeping busy with our day to day entertainment: tonight was lots of fun, with tastings from restaurants and wineries all over the region--lots of yummy eats and treats!! Unfortunately, I have to do my first aid/CPR course tomorrow bright and early, so I had to make it an early night (with more "food" than "wine"!)...For details, see:

We also had another fun night out on Wednesday: enjoying Cirque du Soleil's "Delirium" at the Saddledome. We weren't really prepared for the "concert" atmosphere, having seen more "intimate" shows in Toronto, but this was definitely an interesting and entertaining experience: just a lot more singing and dancing, and a lot less acrobatics than we were hoping for. To see a preview of what it's all about, see:

That's about it for now!
The countdown is on until Mom and Dad Brewin arrive on Wednesday: we are looking forward to showing them around our city, now that we are getting to know it a bit better. Just hoping that they have better weather than Mom and Dad Jackson did--although the forecast for Wed is -5c and snow? Ugh!! :)
