Hi Mum,
today we went with Smaug to Medicine Hat, a town South-west of Calgary where he had to attend a meeting. The place is 300km from Calgary so we had quite some time on the road to look at the prairies, my first real look at Canada. Well, here are a couple of shots that will give you an idea of the landscape.
But you shouldn’t think that the view was the same for three hours, there were plenty of changes like hmmm, the odd herd of cows grazing on the side of the road, the side of the road were the odd herd of cows was grazing on and of course the colour of the cows in the odd herd of cows, so exciting 
You won’t be surprised that we spent most of the trip reading the newspaper and chatting.
We actually didn’t see much of Medicine Hat itself as Smaug was a bit busy so we only managed to get a picture with the biggest tepee in the world. It is actually a steel structure, much cooler if you are not too close to it 
When we came back home Pepita jumped in her envelope and got ready to travel to her next host in Germany, wow
