    Default 7th July.

    Left Lethbridge quite late, as it took a while to pack up my van again. Headed straight for Calgary, a nice town I have enjoyed in the past, and did again this time.

    It has surprised me that Canola is grown so far north, as it is in these regions. At home it is grown in quite a hot climate, but apparently it adepts quite well to the cooler shorter season. It sure made the country side look bright with Canola fields in flower right to the horizon.

    There are two FJs in Calgary, in the past I have stayed at the southern end of town. This time the northern end was more appropriate. It was about six miles out of town, but on my way for the next day.

    8th July.

    Headed straight up the road to Red Deer, where again I planned to stay at the FJ. Had some time to look around, it is a bigger place than I had remembered. However, I cut the day short, and turned in quite early..... still drinking nothing but water!

    These were days just to get from one place to another, taking it easy and slowly to give my head a rest.
