Rockies

After a few weeks or so in the Beaverfoot valley it was time to move on. 
With promises to meet again, to many of our new friends, we found Hwy 1 and headed east. A short road trip to Calgary, Edmonton, and Jasper then back down to Lake Louise. 
We had a great time meeting up with friends and some family of mine I never really knew. I feel totally blessed by others since being in Canada. Those times when you meet strangers, who then have you in their home, feed you and give you great conversation. Then they send you on your way with a appreciation for how other people spend their time, how much some people sacrifice for others, or send you with a full picnic lunch -which lasts you for dinner and the next breakfast as well.

We have seen some amazing country side, I almost feel like being selfish and not showing anyone the photos we have taken and making you come here yourself. I won’t be like that, but truly the Rockies are just as amazing in real life and I would recommend anyone who likes mountains and nature to come on over!
The road from Jasper to Lake Louise, Hwy 93, allows you to drive by so close on route to a destination, that it feels like the road is the destination.

Currently we are in Revelstoke enjoying the company of, and working for an amazing family who again were strangers and have welcomed us into there home, we feel truly blessed already. We hope we to can return the favours in other ways while we are here working for them.
We have had time to do some great rock climbing, such a great way to spend a day off with friends. We have also done a weekend of mountain biking here in Revelstoke, when I say weekend of mountain biking, I mean I did one ride and all the others did about four.

Ok, so yeah that’s about where we are at now. We love Revy already, climbing is my sport of choice currently, and eating vegetarian with less bread, and having access to a great coffee machine, is so good!!

  1. Wow you guys! There you are in the middle of this vast and beautiful wilderness and you show us three croci waving their perfect little purple heads in the rockery. You are artists. It is breathtakingly awesome scenery and I get what you mean about being 'in' the landscape and isn't that the most accurate description about the journey being the destination. Perfect harmony. And once again your writing is so alive and vibrant. Thanks for letting us live vicariously for a moment. Love you both just lovely to chat.xx
