I consider myself a pretty well-traveled cowgirl. I’ve climbed the Eiffel Tower and swam with the fishes in Cozumel. I’ve even wailed at the Wailing Wall. But I’ve never been to Canada. When I think of our neighbors to the North the only thing that comes to mind is French speaking magicians (don’t ask) and South Park. Hence my surprise when I stumbled upon the above YouTube video on The Calgary Stampede. Canadians are country folk! Every year the entire town plus a few rodeo-loving imports gussies up in their finest cowboy hats and western belt buckles to attend the fete, wherein proud horses and angry bulls are mounted by some of the best roughriders in the world. Check out the video to feel part of the festivities and appreciate the gorgeous gold belt buckle worn by the video’s host. Whadaya’ say everyone? Calgary Stampede 2008? I’m there!
