Banff

Now that we're 18 days into this blog, let me state for the record that I had no idea Dad had such a thing for the passive voice.

Day 18

A rental car was reserved for the Banff area. We are giving ChelseaExpress a much deserved 9 day vacation. On our way out to Lake Louise we drive past the Banff Fairmont Hotel. A real sharp place. I can see us having a martini there one night. I'll go to the ATM just before.

Lake Louise is impressive, as was the drive up there. We take a mile walk around the lake, a nice easy stroll. The lake is a green/aqua color from the minerals that run off the glacier. On this day the glacier was partially covered in the clouds. At the beginning of the lake there is another Fairmont hotel. Nice, but not as nice as the one in Banff. We head off back to Banff and the famous hot springs. Even though it begins to rain, hot sulfur water would feel good. We go for it, and enjoy every degree of 104F.
