Am back and this time it was a super vacation to the Canadian Rockies. For those who have been there, you’ll know what I’m taking about. For those who haven’t - two words- Go there! Right now. Ok, so that’s four words, but oh, truer words were never spoken.

When we first moved to Canada, our impression of the country prior to the plane touching ground, was lots of mountains, clear air, sparkling lakes, bears and …this last impression was mine alone, definitely not shared by my husband - hunky men! Canada has definitely lived up to my expectations. And for hunky men - the rockies it is! Actually, the area has just about everything a gal - green or otherwise, would love. It’s amazing to see acres and acres of forested land and spotting our first bear, elk, moose and deer - all just meandering along the roadside, left us pretty dumbstruck. Of course, the easiest way to spot an animal is to stop next to the line up of tourists in cars, RV’s and bikes - all with their cameras out, clicking away furiously. My husband swears the animals get trained and paid (in grass, the munching kind i.e.) to stand around, because they seemed to be quite at ease with the situation, and a lot of our best views were in towns such as Jasper and Lake Louise and around public areas such as gas stations and golf courses. We sensible folk of course know that this is because they probably get fed by tourists - naughty naughty. But more on that later. For now, am off to unload the dirty laundry and get back into city life.
