Canada – the beginning anyway

This part of the trip has always been intriguing to everyone, including us! Larry has made reservations for us along the whole Alcan highway, but especially as we go further north, we’re not sure what to expect. At least we hear the road is paved the whole way now. 🙂

The first stops in Canada are places we’ve been to before, Banff, and Lake Louise. Our good friends Bill and Jean flew into Calgary to join us for this part of the trip! We had a great time with them shopping, visiting, eating, and going up gondolas! Spring seems to be arriving late for everyone — Lake Louise was still mostly frozen over.

As we go further north and actually get started on the Alcan highway (Saturday June 4), I will try to post our progress as much as possible.

I’ve been complaining about the wind and how it blows my hair around in weird unattractive ways, but in this case, the wind made me feel like I was in a shampoo commercial! 😂

Thanks to Bill and Jean for flying in and adding to the fun!
Friends for 40+ years!
