A step into history

The weather was not looking good for photos at Moraine Lake so we decided to give Kathleen a day off from ferrying us around.
Instead we took a trip out to Heritage Park just south of Calgary. In the park are authentic and reproduction buildings dating from nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. There were houses, shops, a hotel, a blacksmith, school and hospital to name but a few. All were from the Calgary area and each had a history.
It took us all day to get round the park and even then there were things we were not able to do, such as a ride on the steam train, or the horse drawn wagon or the paddle steamer.
Many of the exibits had guides dressed in period costume who were able to answer most questions about the building and the people who lived or worked in them.
The park closed at 5pm and we had eaten only an couple of hours earlier so we missed out eating in Calgary and drove back to Cochrane.
The sky was looking rather stormy as we approached Cochrane so we stopped off at a Boston Pizza and had a drink and read our book before having a meal. By the time we were finished it was raining and we had to dash for the car. It got rather heavy at one point but by the time we were about 3km from the house we were through the worst and the sun was causing the roads to steam.
We await tomorrows weather forecast to see what we will be doing.
