It's almost unbelievable and quite a shock. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the great stories as I love this place and visit almost daily to see if you've written anything.<BR/><BR/>Love ya girl!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830788687675058968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145130710043009707.post-53011269405914190092007-09-14T20:50:00.000-05:002007-09-14T20:50:00.000-05:00Wow, gorgeous!!

We stayed at the Chateau Frontenac and it was gorgeous, even at 13 I knew that. But we didn't get to see the amazing countryside you saw in the west.

It's not that good a joke, so I'm gonna delete it.<BR/><BR/>And I found it interesting that we Americans have been pronouncing Calgary wrong. <BR/><BR/>As I said in my blog, I've always loved Canada!!!

Um, not to be critcal...most Canadians are very 'protective' of our culture and take offense with those whom make fun of the way we talk. "Eh" is not as common in Canada as you may think - we tend to use it when making fun of ourselves and tend to be offended when American's use it to make fun of us!<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you enjoyed your stay in 'America's National Park'.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830788687675058968noreply@blogger.com
