Calgary, Canada - 24th May 2009

By: smaug

Ciao ciao ciao,
Last night we were so tired that we were asleep very early, so this morning we were up very early too, and to spend some time we decided to watch the Montecarlo F1 GP. It was the first time that Sully Monster saw a GP so he was quite excited. I politely whispered to him that it was all fine to cheer on the Aussie driver on the grid, but with Smaug around, should the Ferrari be as rubbish as they have been the rest of the season, it was advisable to keep some sort of low profile during the race  ;)

During the race I had some time to tell Sully Monster about my visit to Monaco last summer, I wish Smaug had taken some photos of me that day instead of leaving me in the Casino Square car park all day, but wow, what a glamorous car park was that  B)
As usual the GP was incredibly boring...well, apart for the occasional accident  :o

As the race went on it actually became a really, really boring, but I arranged to have some snacks out and that made the rest of the race more interesting  :)

In  the end neither the Ferrari nor the Aussie driver won, but Smaug didn’t seem too disappointed.
During the rest of the morning Smaug was busy cleaning the house, so we decided to keep watching television, English football this time, and of course we kept the cookies nearby  ;)

In the afternoon the weather was so nice that Smaug took us out for a walk so we went to take a look at the Saddedome, the main Ice Hockey arena in Calgary. The roof is really shaped as a saddle  :stare:

Smaug started again with his lessons and explained us that here in Calgary people are quite crazy about all things related to cowboys and that every year in July the city hosts the biggest rodeo in the world.

Walking around the dome we met some Canadian geese...but most of them hid when we tried to take a picture of them.

On the way back we also got a glimpse of the Calgary Tower

It was very hot today (well, not that hot, but, considering that a few days ago it was below freezing point, 20-23 degrees seemed very hot) so when we came back home Smaug gave us some ice-cream to help us recovering, yuumm... ;)
