I couldn't wait to tell you all about my incredible summer trip to Calgary, Alberta! It was truly an adventure of a lifetime.

First things first, the moment I landed in Calgary, I was instantly captivated by its charm. It was the cleanest city I have ever seen. I stayed in this stunning hotel in downtown Calgary that had an amazing view of the city. The natural beauty of Calgary was jaw-dropping. The landscapes and mountains were out of the world. I headed out to Banff National Park, and let me tell you, it was the most beautiful place. The turquoise lakes, towering mountains, and lush forests were simply surreal. Hiking trails led me to hidden gems, and I even spotted some wildlife along the way: like elk, deer, coyote…… and my favourite animal was the black bear. The beauty of Lake Louise and Moraine Lake left me speechless.

And, of course, I couldn't visit Calgary without experiencing the Calgary Eritrean culture food. I went downtown to try Eritrean food. It was delicious. Calgary's warm summer weather was perfect for outdoor activities. I spent afternoons cooling off in the Bow River and even tried my hand at paddleboarding. Biking along the city's pathways was a fantastic way to explore its neighborhoods. I made sure to pack sunscreen, comfy hiking boots, and swimwear for the hot days. Safety-wise, overall, my summer trip to Calgary was nothing short of magical. I wish you could be there to witness the beauty of Calgary, Alberta and experience the vibrant culture of the city.

It was a journey filled with adventure, natural wonders, and unforgettable memories. Next summer, I should definitely plan a trip with my friends again. I'm up for anything in Alberta!
