This past week my host family took my counter part and I to the mountains! We stayed in a place called the Rocky Mountain Ski Chalet outide of Banff in Canmore. We traveled to a bunch of places and saw a zillion(wow!) waterfalls.
We hiked a for an afternoon at a place called Johnson's Canyon. The trail followed along side a stream that has eroded a nice deep canyon complete with water falls, and pools filled with bright blue water! Neato!
We also went to Lake Louise. One of the most beautiful parks I have ever seen. I'll have you note me in the water. I'll also have you note the glacier on the top of the mountain melting, being the sole source of water in Lake Louise...
Also I finally have a job! Hurray! 2 days a week, for 6 hours or so.... life is hard.
In the mornings I work at the soup kitchen, and in the afternoon I work at the Salvation Army thrift store! The hardest part about work is NOT taking home junk. When I'm bored I tend to waste money.. and at 1/2 price for volunteers... and the most expensive thing in the store being around 5 bucks.... meh we'll see how things go.
Since my current family is leaving for a month to travel the world Simon and I get a new host family, which we met last night. They seem like very nice people...but the most important thing is that they also have a hot tub...and ALSO make thier own wine!! Yay!!
Anyway, I'm off to Hobbema the near by Cree indian reserve for a pow wow. Food,dancing, peace pipe, sweat lodge, and all that jazz.
