The pharmacy dept at Shoppers Drug Mart was very helpful. They helped me find the size I needed, were very patient with my try on process, and even showed me braces specific to my needs.

On Day 2, we drove south towards Athabasca Falls, then headed up a rocky, unpaved road to hike the Geraldine Lakes trail.

Afterwards we went back to the hostel to roast hot dogs, but got rained out before I had time for any marshmallows. Gah. The main HI hostel in Jasper isn't the nicest.

Here's a piccie of my set-up: Why go to all the effort of ...

I really wanted to go to the pier and see the Golden Gate Bridge and the Aquarium but the airport ****ed up our baggage and we ended up waiting for those for almost 2 hours then we had to check them in all the way at the other end of the airport. By the time we had any time left it was too late to go anywhere. I was pretty mad ...
