Day 2Â
(Link to Day 1)
After a refreshing night’s sleep we were all ready and excited to explore the city of Calgary. After a quick breakfast we made our way to our first stop for the day, Fort Calgary.

Fort Calgary was established in 1875 and is now a part of the National Historic Sites of Canada.
Canada Day Celebrations were going on in full swing in the open grounds in front of the fort. The sun was shining brightly, the skies were clear and overall it was just the perfect day for an outing under the sun. There were lots of people dressed in Canadian flags’ colors. There were food stalls, a DJ was playing music and there was a RCMP unit posing for pictures with the visitors.
We left Fort Calgary area and soon reached our second stop of the day, Prince Island Park, at 1400 Hrs. Here the atmoshphere was even better. There was some nice dance music blasting off the some huge speakers. People clearly were enjoying the music. And the park was packed! There were people everywhere. Not the kind of place I usually visit but I was with a group so I went along.
At around 1930 Hrs we met one of Namendra’s friends who lived nearby and finally left for our hotel at around 2030 Hrs.
