As you can see by the photo above, our landscape changed dramatically today. Around 3pm we climbed our last summit (more of a large hill) and descended quite literally into the prairies.
Our field of vision changed from a kilomere at most in the mountains, to long rolling vistas as the terrain shifted to flat farm and pasture land.
It's a great feeling to be in Calgary. We've now completed our first province and reached our first major centre past Vancouver. Now two weeks in, Vanessa and I are really starting to settle into a rhythm. We're setting and leaving camp faster (with the exception of our late departures today and yesterday) and the distances are becoming more and more manageable.
It's late tonight, but tomrrow we'll be exploring Calgary, a city Vanessa and I both have very little experience with. So far we've found the people charming, especially our hosts Mikey and Emily who are putting us up for our stay, and have noted an impressive amount of green space and bike paths.
More tomorrow.
I love picturing you guys exploring the city on your rest day - in your spandex outfits.
