Yellowknife drive Thank you for that blog. My hubby just sent me the link. It's going on my bucket list. Don't worry about 40 below. It is only a problem if you lack the proper clothing. I grew up 150 miles north of Quebec city, near the Saguenay river. Most winters we would have several -40 days (in Jan 1968 we had a full week of temps ranging between -55 and -40, with the windchill). Definitily doable, but you have to understand how the body works with insulation (clothing) to maintain core temp at 37 C -98.6 F. If you are visiting easter Canada, try to include a visit to the region- kayaking in the Saguenay fjord near Tadoussac is a breath-taking experience, and there is camping nearby in the National Park.
Perfect rainy Canadian holiday! Butchart Gardens, butterflies and chocolate strawberries--what could be better! I love those gardens (though the price has gone way up since I visited) and your photos did it justice. I also adore that quote by Anais Nin and will surely use it sometime--thanks so much.
Southern Alberta I used to live just a few miles from here. Makes me nostalgic, even though I never did visit this place. Lovely pictures. Though take the 'authenticity' of some of these "Indian" proverbs with a pinch of salt.
pretty decent Hi Pam,
Not sure if you made your trip already. The motel in Enterprise was a pretty decent space for a decent price. Per my research, its the only motel there.
Good luck with your trip!

Beautiful There is something totally magical about ice sculptures. They are so surreal and seem to be from another world altogether!
This whiteness looks so joyful. I can understand why the little one was running around!
Aaah Canada!
We love travel; backpacking, hiking, kayaking, snorkeling, sight seeing, camping or skydiving; whatever package it comes in.
We hope to travel, to see, to feel and experience as much of this planet as possible.
Mobile bases: California, USA to Calgary & Toronto in Canada, Brazil and Germany. With no permanent "dwelling", home is something we carry around in our backpacks, literally.
P.S : Sometimes, the experience of the place is bigger than expressible in words. Hence, pending many blog updates...working on it...
cheers
