Jasper

We have just arrived in Jasper our last stop before Vancouver and home. We have 2 days here before taking an overnight train to Vancouver. We flew from Quebec to Calgary, had a night there then caught a bus to Banff, another beautiful place well and truly in the Rockies.
The places we have stayed since Quebec have all wanted to charge for the Internet - nice to be somewhere civilized again.
From Banff we moved to Lake Louise for one night. It should be beautiful but is dominated by a Fairmont resort which looks as though it is shielding the view from the rest of the world.

We have a wildlife tour booked for tomorrow but it starts at the absurdly early time of 9 am. I am not sure Judy can be up that early!

  1. Gosh what's happened to you guys? I thought you were the 7am hair cut types! Wondering how you'll both do in getting to work on time.

  2. Don't worry so are we! It is still dark until 8:30 am and by 4:30 so it is hard to guage time by how light it is. We will readjust I guess but at the moment ready to roll by 10 is the norm. No early morning haircuts here!

  3. Maybe all your sleep difficulties are light-related? What kind of wildlife? Bears?!

  4. Light and heat perhaps.... I am sure the light levels have more than a little to do with as do stress and job pressures.
