Hello From the North

My cousin Tanya, her husband Rex, and I decided a few months ago that we would drive to Canada. You would think this would be one of those things that you just talk about but never actually do. Yet here we are, in my car at five in the morning, sitting on sheets from the DI that I used to cover the seats. Look how we are excited (no really, we are). Look how I also kind of resemble a watermelon.

We drove strait to the great province of Alberta, where we reached our first destination: Waterton. Waterton is lovely. Even more so once it stopped raining two days after we got here.

We've been doing some lovely things in Waterton. Soon after we got there, we walked around and saw this very friendly deer.

We went on a couple little hikes and talked to two people from Holland who--we gathered--work with greenhouses and as part of their job travel all over the world (Canada, US, Australia...). And then we saw this bear. Bear!! We were in the car at the time. So everyone was safe.

We also went on a lovely bike ride, a lovely boat ride, and saw lots of lovely views.

Hooray for Waterton! Next stop is Edmonton.
