Calgary

Hey everyone,
Well, we survived the cold of Edmonton and have moved onto warmer pastures.... sort of. We are in Calgary now, and experiencing a mild temperature of minus 15... :-) We found out this morning that we MAY have jobs in the ski resort of Jasper, and have cancelled our Banff trip and shortened the Calgary one as well. Kinda exciting tho, will keep you posted if we actually got them. We have to rock up Wednesday morning at the ski resort and we aren't sure if we will be working straight away or going for an interview.
Calgary seems quite pretty with all the snow around. We went for a walk this arvo around the park near the partially frozen main river. Very pretty. Saw alot of ducks sitting in a non-frozen pond.. they must have insulated backsides or something. :-) Later on this arvy we might head for this Australian pub that we have spotted in our walks. They sell genuine Aussie beers and tucker. There seemed to be a Fosters sign out the front!
Today we also went up the top of the Calgary tower... it is about 500 feet up. A bit woosy compared to the Sydney centrepoint, but still an awesome view.
Hope there wasn't too many bears with sore heads after New Years. Ours was pretty tame, a few drinks in the room and pizza on the run for dinner.
Okay, nuff for now.
Love to you all.
El and Geoff :-)
