The Parent Moon

After the Wedding and our stay in Whistler guests headed off all over the world. The McInnes' and the Lackies spent the night in Vancouver, then there was time for lunch with the new Mr & Mrs McInnes before they were picked up by a 'Limo' and they were off Italy (for their Honeymoon) via London ( a quick stopover). The parents John, Donna, Glenys and Ray were off on the 'Parent Moon', first up Kamloops.

The road northeast in British Columbia is smooth and wide and we feel very safe in the Lackies Chev. 'Truck', so many great things to see, the Fraser River is spectacular and the many great hills and valleys.

As we make our way towards Jasper we stopover at the Mt Robson Visitor Centre, this is one of Canada's tallest mountains but to our great delight a black bear is spotted in the grass not too far from the deck. As we head to the town of Jasper we enter a new time zone and the Province of Alberta, home to great beef. Steak will definitely be on our menu for the next couple of days.

All around the mountain towns we are taken with the beauty of the streets, shops with flowers everywhere. We enjoyed a great meal (supper) together and a comfortable night at the Whistle Stop Inn.

Tomorrow we are off to Banff, apparently the most breathtaking drive in Canada.
