It was great. Here's a recap:
• Saturday morning we picked up pastries from the French bakery near our house.
• ate them in lovely Central Memorial Park
• followed a path neither of us had ever taken along the elbow river into Inglewood
• spent some time browsing in a second hand bookstore
• went into all of the antique shops and cool furniture shops along 9th Avenue S.E.
• spent some time at Tea Trader learning about tea and smelling the different varieties. We bought two different types.
• had lunch at Spolumbo's - Italian spicy sausage on a bun with fresh tomato sauce and pickles on the side
• drank mojitos on a cute patio
• got a ride in a tiny convertible
• browsed around my favorite vintage shop in Calgary, Pretty Little Things, trying on hats and coveting a lovely refinished vanity.
• went to the recently opened Wurst and sampled some different beers.

Looked like a fun day! It's great to be tourists in your own city.
Dan and I often walk around Ponoka checking out people's gardens, and making jokes about the strange and interesting things that can be found in the many thrift shops this lovely little town has to offer. Happy Birthday to Dario! xo
Glad to hear that you're enjoying the small town experience. I'll pass your message on to D :)
