OH, CANADA

At the very end of June, Ann and I took off with our dear friend Marc for a two-week trip to the Canadian Northwest.  It was our fifth attempt to board the Rocky Mountaineer, the touring train that runs from Vancouver to Banff and from Jasper to Vancouver. We had three covid postponements and one last-minute wildfire cancelation. In the interim, the fourth member of our party, Marc’s wife Michelle, died a too-soon death, so we made the trip in her memory.

I took a lot of pictures, and I posted them on my Facebook page. I know that some of you don’t do Facebook, either because you are too hip, too old, or too lazy (or it is part of your general denial of social media). Oh well – that’s where the photos are, so if you want to see them, find my page.

And you should.  The pictures are gorgeous, mostly, not because I am such a skilled photographer but because I pointed my phone at some of the most remarkable places I have ever been and two of the best people I know. It will inspire you to take the trip (see https://www.rockymountaineer.com/). We have lots of suggestions about maximizing your experience, so do not hesitate to reach out.

Here is just a taste – probably the best picture I took.  It is early morning on the shore of Lake Louise. And I will never forget it.
