Haven’t updated for a while so I guess I’ll make a quick one to get myself back up to speed.
Banff was amazing, by far the best part of the trip. We went canoeing in Lake Louise and I was SOOO scared the entire time because I can’t swim (which makes me afraid of small boats). After 30 min when I was finally able to stop gripping the sides of the boat, I was able to get some cool photos.
This glacier is pretty much one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. I was absolutely awestruck at how beautiful it was:
The next day we went on a Gondola up Sulphur mountain, and the views up there were incredible too:
My amateur photos could never depict how beautiful it actually was… It’s definitely something you have to see for yourself.
We went to the Calgary Zoo on Friday after Banff and that was really awesome too. Apparently it’s the 2nd largest zoo in Canada. We got to see a Tiger do its thing from close up, which was really cool. It did everything: walk, swim, and even pee for us 😀
In total I saw 3 animals pee that day: tiger, ostrich, and gorilla 😉
They have random peacocks wandering around their zoo too… I found that really weird. Here’s me following one around in the concession area:
Saturday we both played the $550 and we were both busto less than 4 hours later. I pushed into another monster in LP, this time Q8s into AK. I love it when I walk away from the table and everyone is like, “WTF why would she push Q8?!?!” Dave got 2-outered by his nemesis from River Rock. Woohoo!
Since we busted on the first day and we’d seen pretty much all we wanted to see in Calgary (which isn’t much, btw… Calgary is pretty boring), we went home a day early. The next two weeks should be pretty busy with MiniFTOPS. Hopefully I get some decent volume in. I played 15 donkaments the other day which is more than usual for registering for 3 hours, but that’s because I kept busting everything. The only tournament I could cash was one of the $10.20 HU hypers 😛 (but yay that was my first time cashing that ever!)
Gonna play today after I stop wasting time. It’s noon and I haven’t had breakfast yet 🙁
