Friends from Idaho are visiting during the Calgary Stampede. I’m looking forward to their visit, it’s about time they come to Canada.

We have a full week scheduled. They arrive July 2, which is a Thursday. I’m sure we’ll go for a late dinner on the Thursday evening, maybe a driving tour of Calgary.

I think we’ll go to the Stampede on Friday, July 3. That’ll be an afternoon/evening event. White water rafting is on the schedule for the Saturday afternoon. We’ll go with the company that I used a few weeks ago, it was a good day on the water and in July, the water should be warm enough so that we don’t have to wear wet suits.

Sunday, we are heading to Drumheller and the Dinosaur museum which will be good. Lots to do in Drumheller for sure, the landscapes are amazing.

Monday we head to Jasper and are spending the night in a cabin just outside of town. We’ll take the gondola to the top of the mountain and do some hiking and take amazing pictures, I’m sure. I’ve been to Jasper once, three years ago now. Tuesday we can tour the town and do some shopping.  We’ll get back to Calgary Tuesday evening.

They head back to the US on Wednesday. I’m sure it’ll be a great visit and I’m looking forward to it, they’ve never been to Alberta, so it’ll be a fun touring weekend.
