Whenever we are not moving, John’s little domestic partner
kills time knitting.
Our first full day took us to Sunshine Meadows Ski Resort
just outside of Banff. The idea was to
ride a gondola up to the top of the meadow and then do a leisurely walk back to
the gondola and down. The “Out of
Order” sign said it all. Instead, we
climbed aboard an old school bus that I think I rode in 1952. It did take us near the top and after a long
trek we were in the flowered meadows that were promised.
One of the humiliating aspects of our walk was being
constantly passed by a group of walkers belonging to a hiking club from
Calgary. Most of the people were in
their 80’s. Karen and I are hoping that
this means we will hike faster in 10 years.
John shared his lunch with one of the locals who had begging
down to a fine art.
