Am I Really In Calgary?

 (((Tan tan tan tan ))))) to the tune of "Close encounter of the third kind!" That's the kind of feeling when I saw this picturesque view. Yes, we are approaching the main city of Calgary. Yeeha?! I didn't see anybody wearing pair of boots or cowboy hats.

Then the tall skyscrapers! Beautiful. However my husband do not like being in that area. Remember he is an outdoorsman, he loves nature not skyscrapers.  Not that we don't have skyscrapers in Philippines and in Vancouver city. But the downtown area of Calgary looks like Texas. Just kidding.

We stayed at Delta Hotel (affiliated to Marriott Hotels). It's nice being booked early, we were given the best rooms to stay. The air-conditioning unit is awesome in a hot weather on summer time we all feel the same way when it's hot, we need something cold. But before that, we unload our suitcases, bags and other belongings. Bellboys to carry our suitcases? None! We carried our bags, suitcases, etc. from the lobby to the elevator to our rooms. There's a ready pardon message that the hotel is under construction and the management apologized for such "dust."

Taking a dive or plunge to their most coveted pool and waterslide? Forget about it. That too, especially the waterslide is under construction. What??????

Feeling kind of upset about the unexpected my daughter and I stayed inside the room and just turned on the TV. Well the TV didn't fail our expectation they have OMNI Channel with our favorite comedy-drama " The Gentlemen of Wolgyesu Tailor Shop.

While we were watching the South Korean TV series, I remember that the time in Calgary is one hour ahead of our time in British Columbia.

 We had our dinner, at the Bar (lobby of Delta Hotel) and met my sister and her family, the bride and groom's family and friends.

The next morning, had our first brewed of hot Starbucks coffee. There's no breakfast at the main building of the hotel, we have to order breakfast at the "Atrium."
