University of Calgary interview, drive to Westlock
266 miles – estimated 5 hour drive
We began the day with a drive back to Calgary. Nick’s GPS helped us to find the library on this enormous campus. While I did my interview and library tour Nick did homework. Afterwards we headed for Westlock. On our way we passed a sign for the “Devonian Gardens.” This cracked both of us up. They would surely have prehistoric ferns and possibly dinosaurs, but I don’t really remember what the Devonian era had.
For more information on my interview with the UC library see: http://librarybanter.blogspot.com/2008/10/university-of-calgary-alberta.html
The Best Western in Westlock has a parking lot dotted with electrical outlets. I’m sure this is to run car heaters in the winter. The girl at the desk recommended we have dinner there in the hotel diner. That was a BIG mistake. I think that was our worst meal for the whole trip. ICKY!!
