The View from the Top

Entering the last week on my internship here in Calgary, which has been truly amazing. I am so grateful for being given this opportunity and for meeting all these wonderful people. When I think back on how it all started with a big portion of honesty I can’t help to repeat the everlasting cliché that all things happens for a reason…

So much for philosophizing…. The biggest problem right now is to fit everything in my suitcase. Apparently the accumulated shopping has been quite optimistic.

So on Saturday I will catch my flight to Toronto to meet up with family and new friends. And while it’s true what they say, "every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end", I am not sure Calgary is a finished chapter in my book.

The Treat of the Week

Spend most part of this weekend with my partner in crime, P. Yesterday we had amazing doughnuts at Jelly Modern Doughnuts before we headed to the mall to check out the last sale (please note that these are not any doughnuts....the one to the top right is topped with bacon!). We also manage to catch the lovely movie “One Day” which I recommend everyone to watch. Extremely well played by Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. Both P and I managed to fall some tears…

Today we did some animal sightseeing at Calgary ZOO before we chilled at Sunterra with Coca Cola made of sugar cane…

Great weekend indeed and I will miss this girl for sure!

The actual Lake Louise...

The World Is My Playground

Right now I am incredibly busy socializing at Social, eating the best tapas ever, having wine, shopping and watching a firework competition. Me like.

Hot Yoga

My recovery from the weekends extensive hiking lasted one day, as my dearest Mexican friend P, invited me for some hot yoga. As a former soccer player I have never been limber but I take all the chances I can get to become slimmer. So with sore muscles we met up…

If someone do not know what hot yoga is, then I can enlighten you with the simple fact that it is yoga practicing in approximately 90 Fahrenheit (I am totally Canadian now by the way).  Anyway, after 5 min of doing movements I do not know the name of my toes started to cramp. 15 min later I was sweating like a man (or Rodrigo ;-)) while all other slender females (and men) seem unaffected. After that it was like I had peed in my pants.

But I did survive, and all in all a very pleasant experience I will try to keep up once I land in Toronto.

Thank you P!

The Other Side of Sentinel Pass

Once you climbed up you have to go down...

I made it...

After two days of hiking, hitch-hiking and bear warnings I am back on my air mattress in Calgary
