So for the last week, this is what happened:
Thursday: friend arrived in Calgary, went to the pub
Friday: I took off work to go to Drumheller, AB (including the "Royal Tyrell Museum" and "Reptile World"). I haven't been there since I was a kid, so it brought back some memories. Drumheller is a major place for paleontology, one of the best sites in the world, and that's what the museum is dedicated to: dinosaurs.
Saturday: Went to Banff. I also haven't been in the mountains since I was a kid, so it was cool too. We did a little shopping, and some hiking briefly. We looked at the hotsprings, which, it turns out, is a swimming pool that happens to use mountain water (chlorinated and full of people.. totally not cool).
Sunday: Went to the Calgary Zoo for the day. Was awesome.
Monday: Worked all day, then went to concert in the evening: Kataklysm, DevilDriver, Unearth, and Dimmu Borgir. It was awesome, I love all those bands (mostly DevilDriver, and leastly Unearth).
Tuesday (yesterday): Did some shopping, stocked up on pudding and yogurt. Bought a book shelf and some other junk. Also got some ice cream from a place call The Marble Slab Creamery. It was the most amazing ice cream I ever had! It's made fresh in the store, as are the cones, and it's mixed with topping (on a marble slab)! It was unbelievable...
Today: Sleep all evening. My friend leaves today.
My friend took a ton of pictures, which are forthcoming, likely in a couple weeks.
