We’ve eaten well everywhere we’ve been but Canada does make it easy. About 5 miles from where we camped last night was a farm that made their own cheese – wonderful soft goat cheese and a goat cheddar which made our NY cheddar almost pale in comparison. Plus we got a cow’s milk country cheese and a blue which we haven’t tried yet. From there we drove another 10 miles to what was described as the country’s best artisan bakery. It surely must be! We ended up with 3 loaves of bread including a dark rye with currants made especially for the blue we got. We’re trying to save both to share with Cyndy when we meet up with her tomorrow.
The variety of today’s landscape was amazing. We started out in very green farmland surrounded by cloud topped mountains. From there we drove through a mountain canyon that was steep, rugged and oh so beautiful. Once out of the canyon, it was almost like we were back in Wyoming again with rugged mountains, sagebrush desert, wind, heat, dry. Eventually we drove back out of that into the greener lake area we’re in now that leads to Lake Louise & Banff. Tomorrow it’s on to Golden where we’ll meet up with Cyndy.
PS – Mary’s appetite seems to improve, if possible, the higher we go in elevation. We really don’t think she understands the meaning of the word “leftover”.
