We left Banff for Jasper on Tuesday the 24th at about 10:30am. We stopped to see the magnificent green hued Lake Louise but we arrived and found most of the lake frozen. It was nice nonetheless. We enjoyed a scenic drive along the highway called the Icefields Parkway. Wed stopped many times to snap some pics and take in the views. We saw two black bears and several elk along the way. The glaciers were impressive especially the Columbia Icefields. We are in the town of Jasper now doing laundry and checking out the shops. It's Alex's birthday - he's 11 today- so we are eating out tonight. He got a dream catcher, a Canadian Rockies wildlife book and a totem pole and the rest of the presents are coming when we hit the West Edmonton Mall.
I have tried to scout out the fishing possibilities here but have not decided where to go yet. The best fishing lake, Maligne Lake, is still ice!
Awesome adventure!

ReplyDeleteTu nous manque beaucoup et Bob le pilon! Jespère tu passes une bonne vacances. Est-ce que tu aimes ton voyage!? Souhaite-nous bonne chance le 30 mai, car nous avons notre test provincial de maths. C`est de valeur que tu ne peux pas faire le test. Brodie et Bob le pilon sont encore des bons amis! Je pense que tu aimes le ski beaucoup durant ton voyage! Raconte nous à propos de ta prochaine aventure! Promet nous que tu vas aller au Hockey Hall of Fame à Toronto! Sam et Samuel font des pauses pour Bob le squelette.
À bientôt,
La fameuse classe 5C
