Skating, Books and Good Food

After a lovely morning and a short drive into Calgary, my sister and I made a quick stop at Pages Book Store in Calgary for a browse and a purchase each. Then it was on to the Olympics!?

A quick tour of the Sochi 2014 room, in the Olympic Oval building, after doffing skates and helmets then it was on to lunch with Tom at Eidelweiss for some delicious German cuisine. On the road again, Betty and I stopped in the town of Airedrie to tour the ‘Where Did You Get That?’ Antiques.

Finally, in this last full day of this wonderful visit with Betty and Tom, I have experienced one of the values of the Olympics. The buildings and programs that were established for and following
the Olympic competitions in 1988, are still used today and leave a lasting legacy to the host city, to the residents and to the country at large.

“The Olympic Games must not be an end in itself,

they must be a means of creating a vast programme of physical 

education and sports competitions for all young people.”
