Walking with Dinosaurs

Posted by Steff at 22:09
This week, I started my second job (and then subsequently, my third one as well) and I am so far in love with it. This is my second time working with this program, so much of how things work is not longer a surprise to me. However, getting the chance to go to Drumheller is.

I love that place. Drumheller holds a very special place because no matter how many times I go there, and I've been there plenty of times, I still find walking through the entire thing a fascination. The unfortunate thing however, I have never once read any of the descriptions on display haha. So needless to say, I never did realise there is an 'Albertasaurus' on display. Or a 'Teddysaurus' for that matter. I just go home with heaps of pictures and souvenirs. And I bought a bib today, of all things. Plus several other 'very carefully chosen gifts.'

So yes, I went to Drumheller's Dinosaur museum today (I'm pretty sure it has an actual name, but that's just the name I've always called it...so.), and it was heaps of fun. Lots of pictures, and all the while trying to dodge ridiculously energetic children running all over. I also saw a Liverpudlian family looking rather bored, especially the little boy. You poor child.

My colleagues and I also stopped briefly at Horseshoe Canyon -a pretty epic place. Wikipedia tells me here, that 'it is a region of badlands,' and that it gets its name due to its 'horseshoe' shape. Was asked that on the trip and I was actually a little scared I might have given out the wrong answer haha thankfully, I didn't.

Here's a small snapshot of me, in blinding heat with the sun in my eyes, at Horseshoe Canyon.
