LAKE LOUISE, ALBERTA

 We got to stay for a delicious two days at beautiful Lake Louise.  

All along this trip the Rocky Mountaineer people have has us staying at Fairmont Hotels.  This brand must surely be the finest in all of Canada and our stay at Lake Louise certainly measured up.  The lovely front lawn of the hotel bumps right up to the walk around the lake.

Trish and I needed a day of rest after the unending days of travel, so, we simply spent the day enjoying the grounds and food at our hotel.  The flowers here are spectacular.

We have begonias like this at home, but ours are only about a foot high.  These are magnificent.

The hanging baskets were as tall as Trish and still growing.

This bed had everything from Foxglove to Artichokes filling it wonderfully well.

You can see why we stayed here for our day of rest.  It was a very visually nourishing and renewing day.
