Week ending May 19, 2016 Cochrane to Claresholm

On Friday, we went into Calgary to pick up our new glasses.  Then we went to Don and Jackie's to catch up, and enjoy coffee and a muffin. 

On Saturday, we went for a loop walk along the Bow, up to main street, then back down River Ave to the bridge and back to the campground.

Sunday, we walked about an hour west, across bridge, back along the river across from the RV park, then returned to watch NASCAR.

On Monday, we walked up the hill across the river to Tim Horton's in Fireside, then back along George Fox Trail to the top of Riversong and down the path along the river.    From the top, we got good views of Banded Peak and the RV Park.

Tuesday, we went shopping and cleaned up.

On Wednesday we headed for Claresholm.  We stopped in Okotoks to talk to Sue, but found out she had the day off.  We picked up some peanuts and Divine Crunch, a hard candy around peanut and chocolate, which was described as a 'party in your mouth'.   John managed to crack a crown on his second piece.  Fortunately, our dentist was working late that afternoon, so we went in and had a new crown by 6:00pm.  We discovered that our Alberta Seniors Blue Cross program does not cover crowns. 

Thursday was a drizzly and occasionally rainy day, so we spent it in the trailer.
