Away we go again. this time to Canmore AB to visit son and daughter-in-law. They bought a condo there this past spring and we were anxious to see it.

We drove to daughter Cathy's place Tuesday and left the car with them. Wed. morning a taxi took us to the airport, (cheaper than airport parking since Cathy picked us up on return). The flight was at 7am. Bruce picked us up in Calgary and after some errands, his wife met us at a dim sung restaurant for lunch. Then on to some brief shopping and then Canmore.

We had a really good visit. Bruce, who is a chef at in the park, had several days off. On the Monday before our return we borrowed a canoe and traveled down the Bow River from Banff to Canmore, (about 25 km). It only took about 2 1/2 hours due to the swift current.

Of course we ate very well. Bruce loves to cook. Sunday we had a BBQ at a friends and we ate too much, but it's oh so hard to resist. Every meal was a gourmet treat.

We got back to Toronto 27 July. Cathy and 3 yr old grand daughter Deborah picked us up and we went to her place in Markham, then drove back to Belleville.
