Arriving in Calgary
Thomas and I flew Air Canada to Calgary and had to wait at the airport for 3 hours to meet Howard’s plane flying in from LA. Luckily there is lots to see at the airport as there are statues and sculptures located at the baggage carousels, all with different themes. Obviously Calgary likes to entertain its visitors while they wait for their luggage at the airport.
The next sight that caught our attention was the volunteers all dressed up in
a bright red vests and cowboy hats who was there to welcome tourists. One of them explained that Calgary actually is a city of volunteers: 7 out of 10 Calgarians volunteer their time for a good cause, and volunteers were some of the main reasons why the Calgary Olympic Games in 1988 were the first Olympic Games in history to actually make (rather than lose) money.
