Day 7 Banff and Lake Louise

Day 7 was rainy and cold, but our schedule was to go to Banff and Lake Louise, so off we went.  This area is called the Rocky's of Canada.  Banff is a resort town that could pass for Aspen or Lake Tahoe.  Lots of artsy-fartsy stores and restaurants.

The cloud deck was so low, all you saw was the trees at the base, and then the clouds.  When we got to Lake Louise, which is one of the most beautiful places on earth, it was raining hard.  It was a real effort to jog up to the lake, snap the pictures and get back to the car before we drowned.

We got some good pictures and tried to make the best of it, but when you know how beautiful it should be and you can not see it, it is disappointing.  Trust me though, it beat a day at work.

We hook the trailer back up tomorrow and head north.  Next stop is Whitecourt, AB.

Lloyd I have never seen you with that much of a beard. You should keep it going until you get back. HAHA

I have not shaved since we left Ankeny, IA. At 56 years old, I have never let my beard grow over 3 or 4 days. We will see how long this one stays.
