Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Away: Drove to Edmonton
I didn’t look forward to the drive north to Edmonton today.
OK, let’s get it over with, no one in Calgary looks forward to going to Edmonton, thanks to our inter-city rivalry. But, shock, horror, I’ve lived in both places and each has its charm. The drive between Calgary and Edmonton can be beautiful in the spring, as the migrating birds return.
Spring?
I woke up this morning to see on the AMA’s (Alberta Motor Association) website: Winter weather warning.
Fantastic! Just what I was hoping for!
I was lucky. The bad weather with the snow and wind and ice and all that was west and south of my route.
A calm and pleasant drive to our provincial capital.
Didn’t see any swans at Red Deer though. Too early, I guess.
