Breakfast day!
Joan invited us to an unlimited pancake breakfast. Oddfellows, the organisation where Joan is part of, is 100 years. Yesterday there was a big party and today there is a big breakfast. Joan already left home at 7.30 a.m. to prepare the breakfast. Of course there was a big line, for that matter the people are like Dutch: it’s FREE…

After breakfast we go to the Calgary Stampede. It is a giant and very popular event, where the rodeo is the central point. The cowboys are doing the same as we saw on the rodeo yesterday, however the difference is dat $100.000 can be won here. Today are the finals.

After the finals we are hungry. No problem, because there is plenty of food.
Na de finales hebben we honger. Geen probleem! Er is eten genoeg… Dozens of stalls selling any kind of food. At one of the stalls they can fry anything.

After dinner we go back home. This area was also affected by the flood. A lot of effort is made to clean everything to make this event continue. The marks are visible however. The picture shows the edge of the rive that is washed away.
