Ciaran carrying toilet roll bought from our local Safeway in the background. Also, notice the American-style school bus in the background. Canadians probably wouldn't like me saying this but Canada (well, Calgary anyway) is quite American. Large roads with multiple lanes, big cars, Starbucks on every corner. You get the idea.
Me walking through the neighbourhood on a lovely day. The weather reached 27 degrees the other day.
The Irish Stew in our local Irish bar, Jameson's. I think it's an Irish bar chain. In keeping with the North American style, food portions are large.
I finally managed to capture one of these black squirrels on camera. Yeah, the squirrels are black. I didn't even know the existed in this colour. I want one.
Our new friend that I've named Kitty. It was so friendly. Just came up to us and started rolling around on the ground. There are about three cats who live two doors down. They help me not miss my own cat as much.
Halfway through our 10km walk, we stopped to get Starbuck's. Ciaran's drinking the very un-masculine looking Strawberries and Cream Frappucino.
Calgary's downtown skyline from SAIT (Southern Alberta Institute of Technology). It was a deadly view and the college itself seemed really nice.
Again, the skyline from SAIT.
The Heritage Building in SAIT. I thought it was pretty.
Astro-turf football pitch in SAIT. It was actually on the roof of a multi-storey car park. Awesome location with the skyline in the background.
This is the LRT or C-Train which is Calgary's version of the LUAS if the LUAS sped through the city at 80km/h and had two lines that actually linked up.
So, we're going to Calgary's version of Comic Con this weekend. Seriously looking forward to having something to do for three days in a row. Most of the time, we sit in the apartment and apply for jobs.
That pretty much sums up the last week. Expect more pictures from the Expo at the weekend.
