Calgary Zoo
David joined Sue and me and Peter and Cassie for a walk to the local zoo, via various walkways around Calgary and an excellent café bakery.
We started down Memorial Drive, which has many memorials to Canadian war victims, then we crossed a controversial footbridge costing $26m. Soon afterwards, another bridge costing $26m was crossed, this one not controversial. Which do you prefer?
The café in an old mattress factory offered an interlude between the bridges.
The zoo was brilliant. Today's pictures show some of the inmates, including one of two very frisky snow leopards, the stars of the show.
We got the C-train back home for tea, and then adjourned to an old hangar, which houses the Wild Rose Brewery, for a satisfying beer and dinner.
12 km to and around the zoo.
