WE'RE GONNA' DO WHAT?!!

Early wake up today and off to the coffee shop for a danish.  Short drive to Lake Louise for a HIKE of nearly five (5) miles up a mountain to 7000 feet.  It took us two hours to get up the mountain and there we had soup and sandwiches at the Lake Agnes Tea Room. After several photo ops we hiked back down. The man below was playing the Alphorn. He played Amazing Grace and it was beautiful.  People were canoeing on Lake Louise.  No one would canoe with me.  The fact that it was 37 degrees might have been a factor. Aren't the mountain and lake beautiful behind us?  The water was such a different color.  Laura was jealous of Beverly's hiking stick so I found her a stick on the trail.  She left it--I thought she should have smuggled it back to the states!  One of our favorite things at the tea room was the chipmunks! The scenery was so beautiful from the mountain top.  There were wild flowers and waterfalls and streams so clear you could drink the water. The beauty was unbelievable.  The trip down was not as hard as the trip up (or as long).  We're starving--back to the Station for burger and fries and an early turn in.
