Summer life in Banff

Well fiNally i moved into my new house, and even went back to lake louise and got all my stuff, so now i have more than one pair of pants to wear, although still no shorts and it was 32deg today damn hot. had a bit of a mare this week, should have known it would go downhill when the element caught on fire at 6am when i was making a cupp of tea...I was working in a garden in Canmore when i got atung by a bee/wasp and ended up in hospital, as soon as i got there people were freaking out and attached me to all this beeping equipment, face mask full of steaming stuff and all, i was trying to tell poeple not to worry so much but apparantly i was quite baD....anyway at home now feeling shitty, but now aware that i am apparantly pretty damn allergic to bees!!

O n a better note i had monday off (paid!!) cos it was a long weekend canada day...

Look at Reub's hair. The Angel Reuben!!

We bunped into a friend and he told us there were fish in this lake but unfortunatley we didn't have rods but DAMN the fish were everywhere we could see them swimming around and jumping outta the water.....

We camped right by this lake
Sweet waterfall on the way up. The trail starts in Johnston's Canyon (mssive tourist area) then goes up the valley behind it. The first like 4kms are concrete!!
There are lots of bears out at the momentt. Most people carry bells to warn them you are coming (gayest thing EVER) and some people even have bearspray - its like concentrated pepper spray - on their belts. Lame and expensive!! of course reubs and i had neither, we didnt even see one bear!! You have to hang your packs up in trees at night 4m off the ground. You cant even have lip balm or tooothpaste in your tent cos the bear will smell it and want to eat it!! (They don't have possums!!)

Yeah!!! My new camera takes photos underwater. I am now a half-out-half-in photo geek. Cool though ay? Shame you can't see the juicy delidious Spearhead Trout in this one...
