"Welcome to God's Country!!" Calgary by lauriejeanne
Calgary Travel Guide: 1,050 reviews and 1,852 photos
I grew up in Calgary and was happy to return after 5 years in Victoria, BC and 9 years in Vienna, Austria.
I love the people. I adore the mountains. This has always been my stompin' grounds!
I truly love to travel, but Calgary has always been home.
I guess "home" has 2 meanings for me now. I no longer live in Calgary and I know that my true sense of home is wherever my husband and I choose to be -- home has become a person more than a place for me. Having said that, Calgary is my physical home as much as Barry is my true home.
As with my other pages, I prefer to put my photos in a travelogue rather than the main page. You will see here that most of my travelogues focus on areas throughout Alberta, not just the city of Calgary.
...sit back, relax and enjoy...
