Calgary, part 2

So long, Eddie:

Day 20

We reluctantly dropped Ed off at the airport just after midnight. I think he had tears in his eyes. Hotels are scarce, but we find one near the airport for $1,000 Canadian. No deals.

We wake in the morning & scurry around to find a sports bar that will carry the Pats game at 11:00am Mountain time. It takes a little getting use to having a Bud at 11:00am. After a little conversation with local truck drivers our road to the Pats has been identified. We find Jamesson's Pub by kickoff and realize we are the only 2 customers in the place. Our first beer hits us about the same time as the Pats first touchdown 11: 22am.We notice 3 Sunday specials on the menu, a bucket of 4 Bud Light for $16., an Irish Lager pint for $4, and 10 chicken wings for $2.50. How can we go wrong here. Six hours later we find our way back to the hotel.
