In the shadow of the tower.



Friday night we decided to go out to dinner so we took the C-train (Calgary train) to town to see what we could find. To get to the train, we walked about four blocks and then rode the train about five or six blocks. There is a street in the middle of down town called 8Th Ave. SW also called Stephen's Ave. It has only one lane of car traffic on Friday evenings so it is fairly void of automobile noise and is lined with restaurants and bars of every kind with many of them offering outside dining. You all know how much we enjoy eating outside so we found an Irish Pub with outside dining. It was great fun. Peter got to try a new beer called Smithwick's and of course he talked our server out of a Smithwick's glass for his collection. He was a happy man. We looked up in the middle of eating and realized that we were in the shadow of the Calgary Tower, one of the major tourist attractions of Calgary. It was a nice evening.
