Today was spent in Calgary sightseeing. We took three taxis to the Calgary downtown area and walked around. Stephens Avenue is a several block portion of downtown that is closed to vehicles. We all noticed that despite the requisite homeless folk, Calgary was one of the cleanest downtown city areas we had ever seen.

We then went to the top of the Calgary Tower which is over 4000 feet high.

Two cool things happened during the afternoon. One, Lonnie arrived from California to join Terry for the next several days of the trip. The second thing was a thunder/hail/rain storm that happened minutes after Terry arrived with Lonnie from the airport. Thank goodness that the motorcycles were already put away for the night when it started hailing.

That's all for today. Tomorrow we will be traveling through Banff and Whistler on our way to Revelstoke, British Columbia.
Good to see Lonnie made it up to finish up the ride. Looks like everyone is having a great time and getting to see a lot of country. Maybe next year we can join in. That would be so much fun. Thanks for sharing the pix's
