Finally arrived - yesterday

Trip meter reading, door-to-door: 4436.0.

We arrived at 8:00 Friday evening, exactly 5.5 days after leaving Toronto.

We left Banff at around 9:30 Friday morning, after a leisurely breakfast. We stopped at Lake Louise for an hour or so. What a beautiful place, and since the high summer tourist season is over, it was not too crowded. $10.00 per adult to see the Lake, but well worth it. If you are ever in the neighbourhood, you would be doing yourself a disservice if you did not stop here.

The lake is Caribbean blue even at the deepest part, which I have never seen in a lake before. My brother the geologist explained it to me, but he would have to explain it again a few times for me to retain it. Something to do with calcite.
