My folks (this time, it's my dad and Manon) have been, so far, the luckiest visitors I've toured with. Friday was rainy until their arrived and sunny for the rest of the day, so our walk around downtown was quite enjoyable. Saturday, as we hiked up Sulphur mountain, we ran into a group of mountain goats, not once, but twice. A small group that included a couple of babies, at that! And Sunday, while we hiked up the Plain of Six Glaciers, so got to see THREE -- not one, not two, but THREE -- avalanches from the glaciers at the top of the mountains. The fourth one we missed, but after seeing three that was pushing it anyway.
Considering where we were, that was the luckiest sights you could get.
Oh! and add a coyote on the side of the road, too.
And now the Universe hits us back. Forecast for the next three days: rain. We were hoping to canoe on Moraine Lake, but not in the rain. Darn it.
It's ok, we need a couple of days of down time to recover from the two hikes in a row, so we'll do some indoor stuff like the dinosaur museum. It's just a shame when the weather forces your hand like that...
