Day – 16 A Taste of Calgary – Ethan’s side
I slept in again then got a bunch of work done. That evening we went out on the town with the Knights kids to “The Taste of Calgary†It was a fun time, their were dozens of small shops each with a different kind of food and we walked around tasting and trying different foods from different cultures. But the best part was a section dedicated to Canadian beer. Probably 20+ different breweries were set up and I tried over half of their beers, (note these were in small glasses not large ones) my favorite being the hard cider called jackrabbit.
To top the evening off the group of us went to a local Irish pub and had a jolly time swapping tall tales, discussing theology, middle eastern politics and drinking good old Harp lager, my favorite beer of all time.
We came back to the house and smoked some Cuban cigars outside had more stimulating discussion then headed to bed.
No commentsDay 15 “Teething” – Ethan’s side
Apparently riding through freezing cold rain saps the energy from you, so I didn’t get up till noonish
Eric had been having trouble with a tooth and it was really bad. So he went to the dentist for emergency tooth work and I went shopping with Dick Knight to get some stuff for the rest of our trip, namely a portable air compressor, waterproof socks and a compass.
We returned to the Knights abode and ate a wonderful dinner with the rest of the family who visited and then we watched the movie “White North†a comedy starring Robin Williams set in the white north. It was a good preparatory movie for the rest of the trip.

Day 15 – Eric’s Side
Ahhh what a lovely day…
Slept in, worked and wrote blog entries, went shopping, went to the Dentist…
Had my tooth pulled (Which was SUCH a relief after the pain of the previous 48 hours), ate an amazingly delicious salmon dinner, wrote blog entries, watched some hilarity on TV and went to sleep.
Praise God for days like these.
