Isn't this a beautiful place for breakfast on a cool, breezy morning? After a late sleep in, we got up and drove the short drive to the Fairmont Lake Louise Chateau for a leisurely breakfast at Poppy's. After eating delicious fruit and a wonderful banana fritter (for Ed) we walked around the hotel. There was a beautiful lady playing the harp.
I talked with her and bought one of her CD's. She was very sweet and signed it for me. We left there after doing a little shopping and drove to Jasper. We stopped and HIKED to Peyto Lake. The wildflowers on the way were beautiful and the lake was absolutely gorgeous.
Being a garden person I took pics of all the flowers. I was really fascinated by the things we didn't have here in Mississippi (like the Western Anemone--white one). We saw a herd of elk on the drive there.
Jasper Lake Lodge was a complete turn around from the other places we had stayed. It was a beautiful log cabin type lodge with beautiful landscape and elk roaming the property.
We spent more time here traveling and hiking and very little time on the grounds. We ate at the Emerald Restaurant and I had the most expensive meal (and worst!) of the whole trip. The dessert was good though. This was the embellishment on my dessert. Oh, and don't you
love the bed cover! :)
Tomorrow is another long day and there are lots of surprises! Stay tuned.
