Today was a day we took things easily, but we managed to get a lot done.
We had breakfast, while Patrise had a load of clothes washing – the white clothes.
After breakfast, we returned to the room for thirty minutes, while the white clothes were drying.
We returned to the laundry with the color clothes and started them washing.
We read in the room for about an hour, while the color clothes were drying.
Clothes now done, we walked downtown, stopping first at the Visitors’ Centre.
We stopped at a souvenir shop to purchase some items for family members.
We went to O’Shea’s Bar and Grill for lunch: Patrise had a bison burger, I had chicken wings.
We went from the restaurant and walked to the town’s museum. There we saw exhibits about the history of the town from prehistoric times until 20th century. It is a small museum, but it packs a lot of interesting history and context in its exhibits.
We walked toward the hotel with a detour for buying a sandwich, some drinks, and small desserts (blueberry bun and a small cinnamon bun), to take on our evening wildlife tour. We would not get food on the tour, and the restaurants might not be open, once we returned.
We returned to the hotel, in time to relax for 1-3/4 hours.
At 5:30pm, we made our way to the lobby to meet our evening tour bus.
The bus tour was almost four hours. We returned to make it to the hotel lounge, five minutes before the kitchen closed. She had a chicken sandwich, while I had fish tacos and carrot-ginger soup.
Here are many of my many, many pictures of the day all without comment or description.
Tomorrow, we leave Jasper at 8:30am for a several hour drive down the Icefields Parkway and ultimately to Lake Louise in Banff National Park. Tomorrow is also our daughter’s birthday and Victoria Day – a national holiday celebrating Canada’s independence from Great Brittain.
