Part Three: Towers & Open Houses

We had the opportunity to get a great panorama of Canadian buildings and natural beauties owing to some towers in both state.

The first one was at Niagara Falls that I mentioned earlier. The elevators usually climbed very fast up to the top and I had a little sense of fear because of the see-through glass doors. But there was a more fearful thing that I did not dare to approach: the glass floor! As you can see in the picture I was strongly hanging on to Chris. The next tower was CN Tower in Toronto. We couldn’t reach the highest point of it because of the bad weather. It’s said to swing 10 meters right and left when it winds. The third one was the Calgary Tower. We saw the downtown of Calgary at sunset. We were above the highest buildings! It was nice to see the rays of the setting sun reflecting in the hundreds of windows. It was almost as nice as the mountains were mirrored in the lakes in Banff. The restaurant of Calgary Tower was spining round and round. It makes a full circle during an hour.

Open house means houses for sale and anyone can take an inside view any of them. It was a great experience. We visited some open house at both places. It was incredible for me that people can ramble up and down in somebody’s house and nobody is watching on him. There was only an agent in each house who inquired about nothing and put no questions to us about purpose of buying a house. So we were just marvelling and lost in wonder. Mainly in Calgary where we inspected houses (villas) over 1 000 000 CAD. They were huge and there was ample room for more generation.
