... us great produce. We&#8217;ve been eating spinach and lettuce for the past few weeks and we also have eaten zucchinis and the odd tomato and I&#8217;d say we will get lots of tomatoes before we leave. Our peas just have flowers this week and the carrots are growing. Our potatoes <br>(14 hills) don&#8217;t have flowers yet so Buck, the owner of our house, will benefit once we leave.<br><br>With Cedar not doing well and the bugs being bad we didn&#8217;t hike much but we&#8217;ve continued ...

... deposited from the water evident in every stream bed as tuffa! We then decided to go inside the center, only $4 admission. Its was great, we went in the cave first, it was warm and some what relaxing in their, we chilled for a while to the sound of the water, sulphur rich steam in the air, amazing to think geothermal energy warms the water!! We looked at the various exhibits and a video showing the storuy of the discobvery of the springs, very ...

... and then i head to the gondola ride up sulphur mountain while Les prowls the shopping distance. After a fairly long line up i get into a gondola and head up the mountians with 2 Albertans who seem to be nervous of the heights. When get to the top, the view platforms are jammed with people. There is a walkway to another higher peak, but i don't have enough time to do it and get back to town to pick up les. The views are great ...

... the night. I was glad I did some hiking yesterday, since the party didn't tire me out too much. There were way more volunteers than we needed, so it was hard to find anything to do at all. I ended up joining the ladies who were selling the liquor tickets. They sold 5. Everyone at the party had comps, which probably cut into the sales. Carol-Lynn and Adrianna were fun company for the evening anyway. Adrianna was mentioning here voice lessons ...

Getting out of bed and going hiking was a bit rough the day after returning from Montreal, but I'd been keen to hit the mountains for a while so it was worth it. My aunt and I headed out to Banff, where we got some information about hikes in the area. We decided to start with a couple of light hikes, as we both weren't sure we were up to anything too physical. The first hike was the Marble Canyon. The hike is made up of a boardwalk ...

... By the end of the day, however, everyone was quite exhausted and having missed breakfast and lunch, pretty low on energy, the last run was a bit of a debacle! It was good to get to our lovely room in our hotel and relax and eat yummy food by the fire in the large informal dining area. Tom: Today we went skiing at Sunshine in the hills. We didn't have any gear so we asked some people where we could find some stuff and hire it so when we got ...

Well we finally left Vancouver and headed towards the mountains. We met up with Razza (ex employee), for breakfast monday morning, who by the way is heading to NZ on Saturday to get married! Then went GPS shopping (of course), budget blown again and it wasn't even lunchtime. Apparently the GPS will work for us all over the world as long as we can download the new maps or borrow the card off someone with ...

... incomparable to the feeling of being surrounded by mountains. Somehow it always helps to put life back in perspective. The size and weight of the mountains forces you to remember how small you really are in comparison to the expanse of life. (Actually, these days I feel alot smaller than I used to) How big could your problems really be...they might still be ...

... snow forest to view Lake Peyto, never seen anything like it before with the lake water an amzing colour. Then on to the Columbia ice fields, always worth seeing &amp; surprising how cold it gets on the ice when it is warm down in the valley....crevices of bright blue.....can you believe a tourist hiked up in t-shirt, shorts and flip flaps. Stopped off at Johnston canyon, a great walk on a boardwalk fixed into the canyon ...

... invited us ov** to the green table wh**e she and some Canmorian friends drank, so they could join in our game. We listened. Because I suspected Lindsey and I had a strong rapport mounting, I bullied Johnny and Adam into letting me sit by h**. Sorry, guys. Some times it's okay to be a bully. Now sitting with six new guys and two new girls, we swtiched to a drawing game known once as "Justin's Game." We took turns penning small drawings, then passing the pap** so ...
