Calgary 14- 18 agust

The 15 hours journey went by pretty fast, the view over the Rockies was amazing, i have seen pictures but it just took my breath away,i wish that Greyhound had more comfortable seats, but it all was all good when i met my aunt that came and got me from the busstation. Had a lovely day lunch and Heritidge Park, simular to Arbaejarsafn, just more buisness. It was really interesting to find out about Alberta and Canadas history. We had dinner with Glen (Marges husbond) and Ingrid there daughter and her husbond Kurtis. Marge was pretty surpriced when she asked me were i wanted to go and i said Wall Mart and The Glenbow museum, we had limited time at the museum because of that little Wall Mart adventure. They had a exebtion about the natives, mavericks and much more, the Asian art was really beautiful. Ingrid og kurtis came over for dinner. On the friday did glen have the day off so we went on a field trip to Drumbattle and Dinasour Trail, but we hit a hole in the road pretty hard, so the car gave up, and when they called CBB to sen a truck to get the car and us, then their contrackt had run out the day before, but that wasen;t any problem with the friendly Canadiens. So most of the day was spendet in a car and on a corner of the highway and a little road. We had a barbeque Alberta style (cowboyland) baked potato, corn, steak and some more yummi food.Drew, Leanne, Maia, Brad, Elaine and Douglas, it was relly a joy get to know all this family members. I'llbetter try to explain how we are realated, my great grandfather Frimann had a brother named Magnus he moved to Canada and had four children Gudrun , Douglas mother, Sigfus Marge father and Ted that is Debbie father. There are much more of us but to keep it simple i only explainthe ones i met. On the saturday when i left Charlie and Melissa came with theyr 4 month old black labrador Toby for brunch. He reminded me a little of my brother Bragi. I was send with food and drink for my bus ride, but now it is only 8 hours drive, because i went to Salmon Arm. I sat next to a sweet and cleaver Eva, it is so important to have good company on your journeys,
