Home by late tonight. We had an afternoon free in Calgary yesterday so we did what most of the tourists do, ride up the Calgary Tower. It's not quite as high as the St. Louis Arch (we win) but provides a sweeping view of the city. Who wants to go for a really high dive?
Downtown is definitely bigger and more modern than STL but the architecture is undistinguished. It compares unfavorably with some U.S. cities with a number of newish high rise buildings - Chicago and Seattle come to mind. Still, considering that it's a step and a half from the tundra, it's vibrant.
After we came down from the tower we walked around downtown. Some interesting images of that tomorrow. Still more i have not edited.
