Kiitsiksiksimaatstsimohpinaan (Welcome to those non-Blackfoot speakers)
Another busy day here in Canada. We had an early start this morning...one which the boys didn't like too well as all the girls had their belongings packed, sleeping bags rolled up and ready to be sent for cleaning, and at breakfast before the majority of the boys woke up!
As we said goodbye to our Tipi homes for the last two we were on the way to Calgary and Olympic Park. On the way, we stopped by Big Rock - The Okotoks Erratic, which is a HUGE rock that traveled with the glaciers a great distance to where it now is. Again, the Blackfoot have a story about the rock and Napi. From a distance you can't comprehend our big this rock is.
It was then off to Calgary Olympic Park where the students were able to recreate (sort of) an episode of the Amazing Race where they had a scavenger hunt around the park. The winners of our mini Amazing Race was Team Flyers! They were all presented medals and stood on the podium.
From Olympic Park we headed into Downtown Calgary and Lunch at Pete's, a local hamburger Drive In, which we ate in a nearby park. Then into downtown for a little shopping before going up the Calgary Tower and dinner in China Town.
As you can see, we were all bushed from the long day and Chuck had to take a little nap while unloading the bus!
We have finally made it to our destination for the evening, the University of Calgary. The students are all showered and tucked in their beds for the night dreaming about Dinosaurs and the cool day we have in store for our last day in Canada!
