Friday was another wonderful day. The first two pictures I took while driving thru Calgary. From there weheaded to Canmore, Alberta (the town where Mystery Alaska was filmed.) It is much bigger than it looked in the movie, but it is at least as beautiful. Mountains surround the town of 4,000, and a river runs thru it!! I had my first meal of this vacation at a restaurant in Canmore & it was worth waiting for. I sat out on the patio and ate steamed mussels in a Thai curry sauce served with pita bread, and it was excellent!
After lunch we drove into Banff and thru Lake Louise, taking pictures at a furious rate. The mountains continued to be breathtaking & we stopped frequently to sight see. About midway between the town of Banff and Jasper I had all the driving and beauty that I could take in for one day, so we parked in an overflow camping lot directly across from
Athabasca Glacier, and next to a tiny lake. WOW!!! I was so inspired; I cooked shrimp gumbo to celebrate.
