Visiting Melissa in Calgary!

For the 4th of July weekend I visited my friend Melissa (from UCLA) in her new home city of Calgary, Canada! We went to the Calgary Stampede parade and rodeo fairgrounds, where we saw many cowboys and learned some valuable skills and facts about farm animals. We traversed the "Badlands" to the east of Calgary where many dinosaur fossils have been found, and visited the world-class Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology. Then we went to Banff National Park to the west of Calgary in the Canadian Rockies. Wow... and yes, those glacier lakes really are bright blue-green (check out the movie)! Who knew there was so much to do in Calgary, what a great trip!
