     Today we followed the advice we had received from a long-time resident:  "If we only have one day, what should we see?"  We went to Maligne (French for Evil) Lake and rode the boat tour to Spirit Island, identified by Reader's Digest as the best boat tour in Canada.  On the road to the lake, we stopped at Maligne Canyon where the waterfall drops 75 feet in a massive roar to the canyon floor and by Medicine Lake

We would have loved to stay at the Jasper National Park Lodge
which fills with water from snow and glacier melt each spring and completely disappears by fall.  Together, we took over 250 photos and it was painful to narrow them down to 10. I'm not writing much today so we'll be able to show you some of what we saw.  If you EVER come to Canada, come here and do this!  The boat ride is $55 but worth every penny and tickets sell out fast.  And, if you ever want to feel like a celebrity, drive around a place like this in a Model T.  The T makes people smile.  Any age, any nationality.  It's like being in a parade all the time.
