When we arrived we uneventfully moved through customs and picked our bags. We were greeted by our new and awesome delgation manager, Ms. Anthea Song. We are looking forward to learning all about Canada from her! Anthea brought us food, and we were all hungry! We had a fantastic picnic in the hallway of the airport with pizza and juice. Yum!
We even got a mini-lesson about SUSTAINABILITY when we emptied our pizza cartons so they could be recycled. We will be learning more about sustainability later in the program during our service project.
After we ate, we boarded our coach for the Calgary Tower.
We took the elevator all the way to the top. It is the second tallest building in Canada so the view from the top was amazing!
The Calgary Tower has a glass floor, so we were able to stand on it and look at the traffic below us. A little frightening!
After our excursion at the Calgary Tower we headed to a fun little Vietnamese restaurant for dinner. The food was great, and they were very prepared for our group and for our diners with special needs. We were all very impressed.
Once we finished dinner, we headed to our dormitories ont he University of Calgary campus. After a group meeting with Anthea, we headed off to bed and are now all snug in bed. We are headed to the Tipi camp tomorrow!
Good night, everyone!

I hope you can see all the photographs above. For some reason, I had a lot of difficulty getting them to upload.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures came through great. Thanks for taking the time to do this after a very long and busy day. It sure helps us parents keep up with what is going on.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, they are blank when I open the blog, but, after clicking on each one, they open in a separate window. Thanks so much for posting the update...and the pictures.
ReplyDeleteJen, you are so nice to do this for your P2P folks (and for others of us who have to travel vicariously through you, ha!)...
ReplyDeleteGlad you arrived safely and are having a good time! So glad you're keeping a blog so that we may enjoy. The picture through the glass floor is amazing, but you're nuts! LOL
ReplyDeleteWe are hanging on every word and picture. Thank you guys for keeping as up to date with some of the things you've been doing. I'm a little "backwards homesick."
