1st time seeing a body in a body bag
1st time on a 7% grade drop, with no middle paint line, and being passed at 90 mph (by a non-emergency vehicle) crazy Albertian drivers!
1st time driving under a wildlife overpass
1st time i have ever left just a single coin for a tip. (a 'toonie')
1st time seeing real life people doing the luge
1st time driving on an arterial highway that went straight through the downtown of a major city... stop-lights and everything. Calgary, eh!
