DRUM

It was like 200 degrees in Calgary today, so my mom, Nate and I decided to do the smart thing and go to the one town that was even hotter: Drumheller!

We saw some hoodoos, which are pillars/spires of rock formed when softer, more eroded rock is topped with some sort of harder, less eroded rock.

You could really see the different layers of rock!

We were going to go to the Royal Tyrrell Museum (dinos) too, but we figured it would be really crowded during the summer season.

Woo!

Edit: Nenshi has won the election for the leader of the Alberta NDP! He won it with 86% of the votes, which is like the highest in the history of party leadership voting in Canada. Because Nenshi is awesome.
