"Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway."

July 9
Today we left Banff and drove the hour and a half back to Calgary. We drove downtown and ate Subway and A&W for lunch and then drove to the Calgary Stampede. We watched several horse shows, drill teams, Belgians, wagon pulls, etc. and walked around the park and saw animals, and even this awesome ice skating performance. Around 6:30 we got "dinner" (Booster juices and a funnel cake ;) )and then went to another horse show. Around 8 we went to the outdoor stadium where at first there were Thoroughbred wagon pull races and then around 10 the real show began. There were fireworks, hundreds of dancers, motercycles, gymnasts, singers - one of the Canadian Idol winners - and a guy who was in Michael Jackson's film was there too!
