Before we left Calgary we did have a great weekend in the mountains. We went to Lake Louise to go hiking and biking. We went hiking but it was still "winter" or "sprinter" which is spring/winter to the Canadians.
As you can see there is still snow EVERYWHERE! It was uphill on a snowy/icy narrow path and if you slipped off the path you were in snow up to your knee. We also had Oliver with us who was a trooper on the way up but decided he didn't want to walk down and would just stop. He ended up in my backpack and fell asleep until I slipped then he was a little uneasy.
We stayed in a town called Canmore which is a really cool mountain town. We ate breakfast outside and we had the most amazing view of the mountains.
There was this most unusual rock in town that I have to share with you. I call it the rock head.
It was a great weekend and we are now back in Chagrin Falls/Auburn, Ohio and I can't believe how "green" it is here. I"m just hoping when we go back to Calgary in a few weeks that there are finally leaves on the trees and the temperature during the day hits 70. I can live with that.
P.S. Oh yes, one more thing. I knitted my first sweater while in Canada and I can actually wear it out in public and not be embarrassed . I can't wait to make something else!! Sorry its not straight but I don't know how to fix that.
Bye for now!
