Revelling!

We have arrived in Revelstoke, British Columbia, although we almost didn't make it because we were so awestruck by the beautiful things we saw along the Icefields Parkway in Banff and Glacier National Park this afternoon that we probably could have stayed there forever staring.

Trees include Lodgepole Pines (slender variety!), Black Spruce
Beers include Mount Begbie (a Revelstoke brew) Pale Ale, Kolsch and Cream Ale, Alexander Keith's Red Amber (again from Nova Scotia), and Sleeman's Honey Brown (from Guelph, Ontario). Note to parents: Amanda and I did not have five beers each. The bartender was kind enough to pour us a bit of each to taste before ordering.

Tonight we're in a Same Sun hostel. I dig the name, because we're all under the same sun. Of course, that sun sets really late up here... the past few nights it's been light till nearly 10. We got another hour today when we got to British Columbia, so we weren't as far went in the time zone, but still. We're more than 5000 kilometers from home and we're having a great time!
