Easter

It was a 4 day break for us over here in canada this past weekend.. a good break finally since jan.. had a send off for an instructor on fri and then headed off on what would turn out to be a great road trip.. was 6 hrs of travelling time to Calgary worth it? yes.. its just hard to describe the feeling that i had.. think what made me happy was the food and the big city atmosphere.. something that ive kinda missed for quite awhile since the US trip..

here are some sights from the trip.. remember, a trip to canada isnt complete without visiting the rockies..

so we spent a night in Calgary, Alberta.. we visited chinatown, had jap food, drove and toured around and then headed to one of the pubs to check it out.. had hoped for better but its all still good. sunday was packed.. Calgary tower in the morning followed by DIM SUM!! YUM! next it was some shopping at one of the newest shopping centres and then off to Banff!

a great drive.. Banff is awesome.. on par with places like Queenstown and Tahoe.. much to do, too little time as always.. went up the gondola and then drove to Lake Louise.. korean food that night was good good good.. visited one of the night clubs aft that which was interesting.. haha

Trusty Car brought us there and back.. a total of 1500km..

The view from the top of sulphur mountain overlooking Banff..

monday was all about the drive back to moose jaw.. 7 hrs in a car is no joke..
this trip kinda reminded me of my trip to the US with mel.. sigh.. cant wait to see u mel! :D
Cheers and God Bless!
