When we left our heroes they were off to Calgary, threee hours drive north and east to the prairies of Canada. They made it, on the way seeing more mountains on the road to Banff (first photo above) and spending a delightful hour in Banff itself. It was lunch time at the Wild Flour (I ordered a Latte without foam and the Aussie girl at the counter said "so that's a flat white eh?").The Banff Springs Hotel was a delight to see - its designer ought to get an award for his whymsical spirit and cheekiness because that is what the place looks like (see second photo) and not even the mountain setting (third photo) could detract from its off-beat beauty.
Not photos of Calgary I'm afraid, but L and I overrode on the free tram (I mean light rail transit) while Kath met Jeremiah for dinner. L and I then had cocktails and dins in the hotel before zzzeding off as kath came in the door. On the way out of Calgary we went shopping - first for winter clothes for Kath and then for her cafe restocking. the weather CLOSED in and we drove home almost all the way in rain with clouds down on the mountains (last photo reading upwards above).
Today kath worked and we lazed about. L reading through Kath's bookcase and me playing golf down the hill from kath's place. Then in the afternoon it was more reading for L and watching Tiger Woods in the 2nd round of the US PGA on TV. Its a dirty job, but someone's got to do it! Tonigth Kath cooks some Canadian beefsteak and we while away the time. Hard to believe we are into our last week here!
