Worthwhile stopover

Thanks to the couchsurfing.com project, Dave and I had a great time during our 4-5 hour layover in Calgary. Sarah and her boyfriend, Mike, picked us up and took us to an organic vegan restaurant called The Coup. It was artsy and neat, the food was wonderful and we enjoyed the idealistic energy of our new friends -- interested and interesting people that they were, we shared our interests and had a few laughs, too. Mike had to pull himself away from our fun evening as there was a party on the other side of town that he had to go to. As it was raining, our plan to have a walk transmuted into a drive and we headed off with Sarah to check out some of her favourite views of Calgary. While we were at it, we took a few pics, and Sarah taught us something about having fun posing for pictures.
