rowing lake louise

had a delightful saturday dipping oars into the luminescently milky water of lake louise. it was a stunner of a day so we decided to make the 2 hour trip out to the lake to do a short hike. once we got there though the water called... so we spontaneously donned life-jackets and jumped into a canoe. we finally fell into some sort of rhythm and made it out to the middle of the lake where we pulled in the oars and ate yummy sandwiches for lunch. lake louise is a really pretty spot and next time we go i think we'll change oars for reins and give horseriding a go (pori's never been on a horse before!). after we dropped the boat off we went on a really short hike part-way up a lakeside mountain to a look-out for an elevated view of the lake. i was a bit nervous as there was a sign at the start of the trail outlining special hiking rules for this season to increase safety in a highly populated grizzly bear zone. one of the rules was to hike in a party size of no less than 4 persons.... gulp. but all we saw was a little mouse thing, and a cute little bunny. (phew!).
