We say our goodbyes to LeeAnne and Steve. We only met them two days ago, but we feel like we’re leaving long lost friends. We both feel so much better about Emma being here in Canada now that we know that these great people are keeping an eye on our baby girl. Today we head to the Waterton Lakes National Park which is about two hours south of Lethbridge, and very close to the United States border. It’s a long weekend for Labour Day here in Canada and Steve and LeeAnne warned us that the traffic would be heavy. Steve said that we should particularly watch out for cars with Saskatchewan licence plates. It seems that Saskatchewan, which is the next province across to the east from Alberta, is renowned for being absolutely pancake flat, and ... read more

Le debut de la journee a ete eprouvant autant moralement que physiquement. Le vent soufflait toujours sur le Waterton National Park lorsque je me dirigeais vers la frontiere. Cela fait 3 jours que ca n’arrete pas jour comme nuit. La force du vent est d’une moyenne de 50km/h avec des bourrasques a 80km/h. Difficile de se reposer lorsque des bourrasques tordent les branches des arbres et font crier leurs feuilles. A l’abri d’un grand arbre, ou protege par une dune de terre, le vent arrive a tracer son chemin jusqu’à moi. Enveloppe dans une bache me coupant du vent et camoufle par mon sac de couchage, il ne fait pas vraiment froids. Mais c’est le bruit, meme avec des boules « Qui-est-ce ! », j’entends les elements de dechainer autour de moi. Et puis, il y ... read more

CRYPT LAKE Words can not really describe how awesome this hike was and I could not have thought of a better way to spend my birthday in Canada. This hike has it all as I will explain in the blog, amazing views, element of risk and event a bear sighting just to top it off. I was supposed to be at Dave, the PE Coordinator from Fairview by 5:50am in the morning. As my mates from Melbourne, and maybe pretty much everyone that knows me, I have a bad habit of being a little late. This was a time I could ill afford to be late as the ferry or boat that we had to catch to cross the amazingly picturesque lake in Waterton left at 9am SHARP! We could have caught the10am ferry but that ... read more

Pitch by my doorstep Singin' sweet songs Of melodies pure and true, Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:" Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh! Every little thing gonna be all right. Don't worry!" Singin': "Don't worry about a thing" - I won't worry! "'Cause every little thing gonna be all right." (~ Bob Marley, Three Little Birds) I was going to kick off my Biggest Ball of String blog with our road trip, which I called "the Biggest Ball of String roadtrip", since it's entire purpose was stopping at quirky roadside attractions. But first! I have to tell you about our weekend camping trip - September Long Weekend - the last big camping trip of the year. I should probably clarify who "we", "us" and "our" is. Usually, it's ... read more
