Saturday, Sept 10 - Great Falls MT to Calgary



We slept until we woke up and had the free hot breakfast and got on the road to Calgary.  This was a travel day.  Cleared the US Canadian border without issue and got to Lethbridge in time to eat and provision.  Tony Roma's for lunch where there are something for everyone.  Walmart and Safeway did the trick for provisions.  We planned our meals for the next four nights at our condo in Canmore, got the cooler, the beer, wine and margaritas and were on our way. 

John provisioned his cell phone at Wal-mart.  He bought a SIM card, got it installed, and realized he could only communicate with Dottie!!  Dottie had scored!!  Sprint Open world plan which allowed her to be in full communications throughout Canada...not so much in Montana.

We drove through no-man’s land for miles and miles.  Houses were at least a 1/2 mile apart.  What do people do there??

We checked into the International Hotel, which John got us the most amazing suites on the 24th floor for $127 per night!!!  All the other rooms nearby were $500/night!!  As we were parking we saw a local outdoor festival and decided after we had a beer and a glass of wine to check it out.  It turned out to be an outdoor Chinese and an indoor Mexican festival.  Street food for dinner!!  Yummy!
