CALGARY!

We arrived in Calgary this afternoon. Over one million people now live here, and there is so much to do! But I haven't done it yet. Ted, Corey and I literally ran into the hotel at 2:30 so they could do interviews with two of the networks here. We are sold out for two out of our three shows!

I was here for skating a few years ago and loved it, so I am going to wake up early tomorrow and head out. There is a free trolley that runs through the city. I want to check out some of the stores (window shopping and Secret Santa shopping only) and find somewhere good for lunch. I have been glued to my computer all week, so I am going to take a few hours to enjoy life a bit. My work load is so much more than last year, and I haven't even started the merchandise side of the job yet. We don't sell merchandise for the show in Canada because it is too difficult to cross the border with it on the trucks. They also have a GST tax that we don't have.

Darrel and I have reservations at a restaurant I love on Friday night. It's call the River Cafe. I went there when I was here last time, and actually saved a pen for all these years, hoping I would go back one day. You can not get to it by car- it is on Prince's Island Park. You have to walk over a bridge onto the island. So fun. The website is: http://www.river-cafe.com/index.php. I think that the most difficult thing on this tour is going to be not spending too much money. All of these great cities, great restaurants... Last year it was easy- Denny's and Subway were pretty much our only acceptable choices in places like Padukah, KY and Great Falls, MT.

I just got the greatest news! Our musical director has my camera! Woo hoo! So you'll be seeing pics soon!
