Calgary Stampede

The highlight of Calgary's cultural calendar is the Stampede, actually it's the only event on the cultural calendar, unless you count monster truck racing. The Stampede is famous for two main things, the rodeo and weird food. The rodeo was great and certainly very entertaining. The weird food available included; deep fried Jelly Beans, deep fried Oreos, deep fried ..... (insert any food here) and pizza on a stick to name just a few. But by far the greatest was Chocolate covered cheesecake on a stick, science is indeed capable of achieving amazing things....



Just in case you were all getting worried I still managed to fit in another hike last week. I was essentially a tour guide for a conference excursion up to Sentinel Pass, its so tough to get paid to go hiking.
