Through Calgary to Edmonton

Calgary from the fwy.



Things to LOVE about Canada:
1)Friendly People
2)Beautiful vistas
3)Tons of water (No two flush toilets)
4)Loonie and Toonie
5)Largest Mall in the world (West Edmonton Mall)
6)It seems that every town has a horse tack store
7)Lots of horses grazing by the side of the hwy (cows too)

We loved the West Edmonton Mall. There are 3 amusement parks (one of them an indoor water park) a sea lion show, an amazing IMAX theatre with a dragon that blows flames, a hotel, and 300+ stores. Quite a place!

There is a great Chinese/Asian supermarket where we bought dinner. We like the Comfort Inn that is just 9 blks from the Mall. Because we like the hotel, and things to do in Edmonton we have decided to spend another night in Edmonton.

Things we don't like about Canada:
1) The prices here are about 50% higher for the same goods as in the USA
2) The standard bed in the hotel is a double not a queen
3) Gas prices are significantly higher than they are even in Malibu (The cheap gas is $1.32/liter)
4) No Fox News :(
