In Jasper, a few kilometres closer to Heaven. Am in love with this place. There are mountains EVERYWHERE! Batteries died in camera about halfway here (near the Saskatchewan River Crossing) and have been crying ever since - but no worries, I'm back here in a week or so. Am at the cutest library ever right now, and outside the banal window are TWO mountains. Two. It was a phenomenal drive up here - after we got through the freak snow storm. Then, there was a lot of residual mist and fog, so no clear peaks - which, even when I did try to take a picture, came out 2-D gray. My pictures are doing none of this fabulous country any justice. They're really only to serve as reminders for me and not actual accurate depictions of our sights.
Packs got really really heavy after three days in Calgary - bought a certain pair of Black Cherry cowboy boots. Decided to ship about 15 pounds of stuff home - feeling so weightless at the moment. Also sent back my mother's mini-collection of shot glasses and various other gifts for people. Have bought very little for myself. Sad. Will rectify over the next few days.
VIA running late as usual - we were supposed to be chugging through the Rockies by now. Bastards. We have lost almost a day in delays through them already, and we're only halfway. It's scheduled to arrive 6pm Jasper time (8pm Mississauga time), so we'll be moseying back in a few. Drinking in more mountain views (now that the sun has decided to come out) on the way.
Missing you all!
