Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper

Hi, We are at Earl's Lounge in Jasper, Alberta and we finally have WiFi. The pictures are backwards, hopefully I'll figure this out. The last picture is the top of MT. Sulfer in Banff. We took a Gondola up. Yep, I did it! 360 degree view of Banff and all the way to Lake Louise. We took a 3 hour tour ($52.00 each) of Banff, Bow River Valley (that's us in front of the falls), Cave and Basin, where they discovered the beginning of the Hot Springs, Tunnel Mt. and Lake Minnewanka, where we saw Big Horn Sheep. Next is Lake Agnes Tea House about 3.5 Kilometers UPHILL from Lake Louise. The staff lives there, only walk down once a week to shower and do laundry, no running water or electricity, serves lots of different teas and the PB & J sandwich was $7.50. 90 minutes up and 40 down. No Bears! We spent Canada Day, July 1st (like our 4th of July) at Lake Louise. Beautiful lake between a Glacier and the Fairmont Lake Louise Chateau. We now know what the color Ice Blue is. We walked half way around LL about 2 miles and about a mile and half around Lake Moraine. This morning we hiked to the Athabasca Glacier in the Columbia Icefields. Freezing! Spending the night in Jasper and working our way to Dawson's Creek, BC by the 6th. Probably won't get WiFi til then so Happy 4th of July. Loved to hear from you all. Lynn, call Karen because she is the only one I can call with her 800#. The # is on a postcard. Love Gail and Jack
