Start the car!

We loved our night at the Rim Rock hotel. From there we left to visit Moraine Lake where Jen and Przem rented a canoe for a paddle around the lake, surrounded by beautiful mountains capped in snow. Then we were off to Lake Louise which was as beautiful as it was 20 years ago. On our way back to Banff we took the "scenic drive", and suddenly saw many cars pulled off the road on either side. Oh well, "just another elk or caribou" we thought, but no, there was a mama black bear with her two cute cubs, grazing and oblivious to all the attention they were getting. I crossed the road to get closer to them; Jen yelled out, "Momma, come back!" as she thought I was getting too close. The mother bear gave me a little "get out of here" look and I scurried back to the van saying "start the car" to Rip. A little reminder of that great commercial from Ikea where the Mom picks up so many unbelievable deals she runs to the car and tells her husband "start the car!". We are started the car many times on this trip - with amazing deals and results!
