 1117-04 high-res imageKorean buffet restaurant, in downtown Calgary. 600 block of 8th Avenue. I learned on my last night in town that we were just two blocks away from Chinatown... (Friday 09-Aug-2002 11:33) |
 1117-05 high-res imageFor the price of a good hot meal, Randy here walked me all the way to Safeway. It was quite a hike, too; I walked back carrying bags of groceries (grapes, grape tomatoes, assorted cheese slices and assorted crakers, plus an assortment of candy bars) and my hands were quite sore from the bag straps by the time I got back to the hotel.

 1117-09 high-res imageElizabeth Carrillo, giving free samples of the Chinese take-out counter's Ginger Beef. (The sample I had was a lot better than the serving I purchased for lunch. But it was still edible... On our last night in Calgary we learned that our hotel was only 2 blocks from Chinaton. Oh well, maybe next time.) She's Scottish and her husband's from Spain, so naturally they moved to Canada. Their daughter has dark, olive skin. When Mom volunteered a lot at the kid's elementary school (and Mom was a blonde at that time), she heard a kid asking her daughter "how come you're so dark when you're mom's so fair?" (Or words to that effect.) Daughter's response: "Because I was born in Montreal!" (Friday 09-Aug-2002 12:19) |
