9 July: Calgary
Our last night of the Rocky Mountain Tour.
This will necessarily be brief because on TV is the coverage of the Calgary Stampede the arena for which is two blocks down the road. I'd sooner watch that.
The only news really is the fires in British Columbia the smoke from which is drifting right over to us in Calgary. It is miraculous that we have now been right through BC. Some of our three busloads  are doing the trip the other way around. The couple with us in the Banff gondola this morning were on the last train to have got through before they closed the railway. They actually drove THROUGH the fire. No, not the smoke, the flames.
The other highlight today was the helicopter flight from the Stoney Nakoda Casino helipad. Peter enjoyed this but I found it underwhelming.
Sorry to short-change you. The Stampede calls.
