Oh Canada!

Sunday was a lovely sunny day. We went on the canoe from Bow Ness Park, North of Calgary (where we went ice-skating in winter) through town to the Zoo. This is the first trip Mr.T. did with the Kayak. I had promised myself last year to wear a flag on Canada day, but didn’t as we were on the canoe, but I should have, people were waving and chatting to us from other canoes and the banks. From Bowness, there are some beautiful houses on the banks. We saw lots of geese, (with babies in tow) and Seagulls. Nearing the city skyline, which I have never seen from this point, with sunny skies, going past Princess Island, where there was a big party, with music and lots of friendly people, most with little flags in their hats, painted on their faces and even wearing large flags as capes.

In town there were many cyclist, roller bladers, strollers and even a few wheelchairs on the paths along the Bow. We got out at the Zoo, as there is a weir, after about 2 hours and even though we had worn lotion we had burnt.
