There are few things that make you feel so silly as when a friend is egging you on to take a photo of your dinner because it's something you would never eat at home. Y'know, people do stop, watch and laugh when you whip out the camera but I don't know a time when it isn't worth it.
That's what happened when Laura and I went to the Ukranian dinner, which turned out to be a feeding frenzy of about 200 people on pyrogies (potato and wheat dumplings) all set to live Western/ folk music.
For the record I only made it partway through this feast of starch, starch and protein. However, I guarded my Saskatoon berry pie carefully from Laura, who'd finished hers in record time (inhaled it) and was eyeing mine off (see Banff posting about Laura and her pet tapeworm).
I've included some photos of the early morning city views of Calgary- I hope to see the Tower lit up before the end of the year.

Can you expand further on the tower thang. Just got back from the Berra, caught up with Tim and Tegan, David and Jenny Doust, David and Andrea, Chris and Beck Caterer and Andre and Vanessa, Tegan organised a slap up gourmet meal. All send love and we visited your blog whilst there. All turned green with envy or blue at the thought of the cold. We had our first cold snap this weekend.
much love

Hi Tim and Ammi
HAPPY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!!! Glad you had a good time in The Berra. Amazing that I could have saved myself the flight to Quebec city- you say Cirque du Soleil back home :-)
Looking forward to hearing all about it and it sounds like you all had a great reunion. I'm touched that you all thought to "include" me.
The Calgary Tower is best covered by Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calgary_Tower
However, I did meet a Christian lady from my new work whose father built the Tower so I hope to ask her more about it this week. It must have annoyed the Calgarians something awful that the Toronto people built their tower higher before the Calgary one was finished.
