Harry Visit 2014












Harry looking at tyrannosaurus I Drumheller Royal Tyrell Museum------------------During our visit to Drumheller there was a bad storm with tornado like winds which caused a lot of damage around as can be seen from the following picture!





Whilst in Drum we went to see the passion play which is an annual feature in Drumheller and it is held outdoors in the badlands which give a beautiful fitting background for the play.




We took a trip to the Lesser Slave Lake in central Alberta, Canada, northwest of Edmonton. It is the second largest lake entirely within Alberta boundaries (and the largest easily accessible by vehicle), covering 1,160 km (450 sq mi) and measuring over 100 km (62 mi) long and 15 km (9.3 mi) at its widest point. Lesser Slave Lake averages 11.4 m (37 ft) in depth and is 20.5 m (67 ft) at its deepest. It drains eastwards into the Athabasca River by way of the Lesser Slave River. The idea was to do a spot of fishing and the trip was enjoyed by all!


On the left the general store at the campsite where you hire boats etc a the little Harbour, the next one on the right is Harry standing in front of the store surveying the view!


On the left is a closer look at the flat bottom fishing boats that you can hire!----------- Next showing Harry and me fishing

A shot at nightfall showing people going out to fish and in the following picture you can see people at the fish cleaning station cleaning their fish. The fish on the right is a Northern Pike and behind the white basin in the picture you can see the Garburator wherein virtually everything other than the fillets are thrown. I don't think anybody has heard the word Bouillabaisse or fish soup for that matter??


Marilyn and Harry on the left standing on the shore at the lake.


On the 6\7\2014 we all went to the Calgary Stampede (Cowboy Chrismas ) show
Here is a picture of Marilyn and Harry outside the Saddledome where they hold the evening show and also the Rodeo Etc. There are also the normal Carnival activities and the like. Harry specially liked the evening show which is quite spectacular!





On our return from the show at the c-train station we were amused at the cheeky girls at the station-Talk about getting flossed?
