2005 Three Flags - Day 07

Home Album Home Prior Day Next Day Slide Show

The next morning John and Ron left for home while the rest of us took a tour of Calgary... While on the tour we made certain we could find a place to wash our bikes...

After the tour, we washed our bikes and stored them for the evening... We then walked over to the tower and went to the top for some pictures... The part about stepping over the edge on a glass floor is quite an exhilarating first step...

After the tower, Bill H. took a rest (his knee), while Jacques and I walked around the town looking for China town...

That evening while the other two went to the Awards ceremony, I walked off towards the center of town for dinner... I found a Cajun place and had a very hot bowl of Gumbo... While walking around after the soup, I stopped into a couple of Pubs and tried some scotches...
