An Amazing Day On The Icefield Parkway

This day was blessed with a deep blue sky, not a cloud anywhere. I got my group going at 9am and we were heading straight over to Lake Louise. This place of all in Canada is sure holding a special place in my heart, and I will tell you why. When I was 15yrs old I was totally in love with Canada. And I had seen pictures of a beautiful lake in the Canadian Rockies – Lake Louise – !! I read so much about it that I knew just about everything about the area. And when my  Dad build me a fiberglass kayak, I named it LAKE LOUISE. It was a head turner. For why would a boy call a boat in Germany after a Canadian Lake? Well, my first visit to my dream place was in 1984, and here I am for a whole summer driving bus. A dream became true. Now, I also screwed up today when I forgot to take my SR-card reader for the CANON with me. So here I am with some nice pics and can’t even upload them. I have a few taken with the phone but they don’t show what we saw today. But, like they say, there’s always another day…             Right at the Athabasca Glacier: another Ice Explorer We concluded this terrific day with a family-style meal downtown. As a driver, I even got a free extra ice cream. How’s that for good treatment?                                   At the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise And when I opened my email I saw a selfie of  Bea accompanied by a birthday cake, which she enjoyed at our neighbour’s place. Yes, she had her party and was invited for supper and coffee. I love those folks. When I phoned Bea early in the morning she told me that Molly had recognized my voice on the phone and had answered with a sad…little whine. “Come home Dad, please”.  I would be lying if I said, I wasn’t touched. And WHAT on Earth is this: NORWEGIAN Elg Hound ON THE TABLE??? Now, thanks for coming by again. Hopefully I’ll have the pics out tomorrow.
