Majesty,

worship His majesty. The words of that hymn came to mind as we walked up to Lake Louise. Lake Louise was just the first stop of an amazing day. The picture of Lake Louise will give you a hint of why millions of people a year visit Banff National Park. Our next stop was beautiful Banff with its gondola and the Fairmont Hotel. The gondola ride was a stretch for me but I made it. You can tell from the picture that our assent was at least 2,000 ft. The views were breathtaking. Our last stop of the day was the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. That place is also breathtaking. It looks like a huge castle with views of rivers and the mountains. We found our way to the patio that is located about three floors up and overlooks everything. Our late lunch on the patio consisted of a brie and ham sandwich and soup. Peter had another new beer, a Canadian beer called Creemore Amber Ale. I ended lunch with a flavored coffee that was topped with whipped cream. The lip of the cup was dipped in cinnamon sugar. That was a treat. The wind was gusty and it was a little cool so the soup and coffee hit the spot. We had a great day. Peter is already lamenting about having to go to work tomorrow. I say someone better work so we can keep up with this tourist life style to which I am becoming accustomed!
