| - For those of you who have never been to Calgary, it is a city of about 1 million people. It is a very clean and modern city of technology and oil, it is within Alberta in Canada. The wonderful thing about Canada, is it's clean untouched beauty and if you're coming from California you'll notice the water.
Calgary doesn't EVEN have places with only beer and wine (this annoys me to no end here), if they have a liqor license, that means they serve it all, no restrictions.
In Calgary you can find The Bow River heading through the city. The Bow has an island and it's called Prince's Island not to be confused with Princess (which many locals erroneously say).
On that island are cultural or even things like lilac festivals or music concerts and all kinds of amazing things. You can roller blade or bike ride along the path and you'll no doubt share them with some Canada geese (Not Canadian Geese that would be technically wrong) and ducks, but in your exploring you also may find the River Cafe.
The River Cafe is a beautiful spot to stop, it could be while you're bike riding just for a tea, or it could be dinner or lunch. The style is rustic and not fast food, but I should mention you're welcome there no matter what your attire is.
Once upon a time my attire was a bridal gown, and I got married there. It was a very special day, and it's a very special place. If you ever have the chance to dine or just sit and listen to Ella Fitzgerald on the patio there, do take it in, it's absolutely lovely.
If you ever are in for a treat, stop on by, it will be worth your time. When in Canada if you are visiting you should know one thing, we don't take life very seriously, so please just laugh with us.
