A day in Calgary – shopping heaven

Today was a fun day in town. We dropped the girls off at school and went shopping 🙂 There are a whole lot of things that Whitehorse does very well, but although shopping is a world better than it was a decade ago, it’s still pretty dismal. On our shopping cruise I got some good photos of downtown Calgary, a particularly attractive city.

The big score of the day was a sweet new street bike for Andrea – an all-black Kawasaki Ninja 250. It’s a great starter bike with what appears to be incredible resale value if/when she wants to trade up to a bigger machine.

My score was much smaller – a breadmaker and a pair of living room table lamps. Some of you might wonder why I need to drive 1,500 miles to get things that simple – well, the ones I want just aren’t available in Whitehorse. There’s more shopping to do, but that has to wait until Kelowna where I have more time.
