So today, I went to get an eye exam. Luckily my prescription hasn't gone up too much. The doctor put eye drops in my eyes and made my pupils dilated. I've never seen then this big before. It was pretty interesting.
Anyways, I seem to have a lot to do after I got back from the Calgary trip. The thing is a lot of it involve waiting for other people to be free.
Here is a summary of my Calgary trip:
After I landed in Calgary, I took the bus to the train station. I had to ask a lot of people on how to get around but everyone I met was friendly. :D
At the train station, I took a train heading downtown. On the way there, I got a text from Ryan. So instead of heading to my cousin's place, I changed course and headed to Ryan's hotel. It is so fun to travel alone. You can make last minute changes all the time without worrying about pissing people off. We hung out and had coffee.

The next day, my cousin's husband brought us to Banff, which is a tourist site in the mountains. It's part of the Canadian Rockies. We left early in the morning and took a road trip to Banff. He dropped us off and he went off to work. May (my cousin), Ryan and I explored the town and did some sightseeing.

We went up to the peak on a Gondola, where we met up with my cousin's husband.
The sights on the peak were pretty awesome
That night, I spent the night at Ryan's hotel. We just hung out and talked. It's nice to catch up after such a long time. ^____^ The next day, we walked all over downtown Calgary. Ryan and I went up to the Calgary Tower.
There was a glass floor on the tower.
There's another tall tower in Toronto. Hopefully I will get to visit it next month.
Last, but not least, was the Calgary Stampede. Apparently, people from all over Canada and the world come here for this event. It's a full-on cowboy old west festival. Rodeos, livestock and leather boots.
Wannabe cowgirl.
That was a very brief summary of my trip. More pictures on my facebook page. I'm glad I got to see my new nephew, my relatives, Ryan and all the places I visited.
