I think one of the great times shared during the Love Art in Calgary tours comes at lunch time when we combine food, drink and warm conversation. We have a chance to react to the morning happenings and learn about one another’s interests apart from the tours.

Tour #7 allowed for the convenient lunch stop at the Danish Canadian Club, the Mermaid Inn. 

Off of the lunch menu, I selected Roast Pork and Red Cabbage (Flæskesteg med Rødkål) and enjoyed it immensely.

There is always a sense of camaraderie as these groups gather around a shared table to discover common ground.  One thing’s for certain…there is much laughter and fun!  Some of our group members departed after lunch and five of us continued on to the final stop of the day.

Blue Cheese Platter…we discovered that all participants in Tour #7 like blue cheese! Unusual?

Mermaid Platter…a selection of prepared herring, shrimp and salad items.
