I had business meetings in Brussels and took advantage of the opportunity to plan a stopover on the way.  Calgary turned out to be a great stopover option and a chance to check out the Fairmont Lake Louise.  It was also a chance to catch up with my friend Marlene and see her new place in Calgary.  After staying over Friday night, we headed our early to the mountains and had great weather for early fall.  We covered a good amount of territory in our short time, before heading back to Calgary on Sunday morning for my journey to Brussels.
