p/s: it was 7C out the other afternoon. the sun was out, and it was perfection bottled. i took my lunch out to my back lawn and sat there for a good hour savouring the only Calgary weather-type i can honestly say i love.
Alberta is made up of primarily Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer and Lethbridge. i've been to 3 out of 4 of the above. i can't wait to come home in
