Got my boots, check, hat, jeans and cowboy shirt, check, check and check, now ready for Calgary. I walked Stephen Ave. after checking into the Marriott and enjoyed watching the excitement build for the start of the Calgary Stampede. Calgary has already impressed me with its vibe it buzzes. It is a young city the average age is 30 and I can tell that it rocks. The cowboy hats are out in full force and the streets are lively, let the games begin!
