Calgary

We left Drumheller after a great couple of days of seeing all the interesting sites there, we loved the Dinosaurs on all the street corners and shopfronts as well as the beautiful scenery of the Red Deer Valley.  We have a lot more to see in Canada and so we headed to Calgary where we hoped to visit Ron’s mother’s cousin, Roy and Mary Holding.  We had not told them we were coming as we weren’t sure we would have time, but we were heading in the right direction so thought we would phone them first and then work it out from there.  Fortunately they were home and invited us over, although we would have been happy just to talk to them, but they gave us directions and we made it to their house.  They were so pleased to see us as they had visited Australia a few years before and we had spent some time with them here in Adelaide when they visited Ron’s mum.  We didn’t stay long, but Mary was keen to get some information for her Family History and I was able to fill in some of the gaps.  After our short visit, we explained that we had to leave as we had more relatives to see further down in Creston, British Columbia.

Mary, Roy and Ron
