Yes, this blog is mostly about eating but sometimes it’s about the sights. And Bass Pro Shops in the CrossIron Mills megamall in Balzac, north of Calgary, is a sight.

[Don't worry! This entry isn't about eating them; it's about seeing them.] Fog has always foiled our attempts to go whale watching in the Bay of Fundy, so we weren’t going to squander the stretch of sunshine this time.

You can get there by bus, mini-bus, or taxi but the most popular way is by tram on a funicular railway that was first [...] (Flickr photos above by photocapy, left, and xiaming, right) Foot massage businesses are everywhere in Hong Kong and China. Foot-shaped signs advertising them are on every corner and hang off every building. And as far as I could tell, no way of differentiating the legit and the illicit until you were actually at the door. Getting [...] When Christina invited me to go snowshoeing near Canmore and then afternoon tea at the Mount Engadine Lodge, I was envisioning a leisurely hour-long stroll, max two, followed by a cozy appointment with baked goods and a hot mug of tea.
