As many of you know, this panda recently traveled to the distant land of Calgary where she reveled in the western nature of the "Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth" also known as the Calgary Stampede.
There was much for her to see and do there including
Chuckwagon Racing,
Team Cattle Penning:
Stock Dog Trials:
and much much more.
There are a lot of cowboys up there, hats and boots for all, not just folks attending the stampede. There were even neon and purple hats, but this panda could not bring herself to that kitschy level (though it was almost impossible to resist). Wrangler's were in full effect to my immense pleasure.
However there was one aspect of the Stampede that I did NOT enjoy.
Apparently the style for cowgirls is to wear shorts and cowboy boots. Some were getting into it with any old boots. This was an ugly style. It was the kind of thing that looks OK when your in the moment on vacation but when you look back at photos you are displeased. The only difference was, I was displeased in the moment.
The only thing that made up for it was finding these amazing blazers made out of a Pendleton blanket (and I've been back for a week!):
