on the long road to calgary

went to alberta for the labor day weekend, it was a gruelling 12 hour ride! visited the rockies, the town of banff, had a glimpse of the breathtaking lakes - louise, peyto, and maligne. rode the ice explorer and trekked on the icefields, had a tour of calgary, spent the night at jasper, rediscovered the dinosaur ruins at drumheller, and finally on the way back to bc, we visited the okanagan region and sampled the wineries of kelowna. we skipped
the stops were pure nature overload. can't help but be awed by the vastness of canada's land area. it's a good thing the weather cooperated to make the long weekend more enjoyable. the 3 days, 4 nights trip was well worth it despite being sleep deprived and broke afterwards. ^_^

next stop: vancouver island
