MOTEL TO HOTEL


Wednesday evening of last week we drove into Shelby, Montana
to spend our last night on the road before
crossing the border to enter
CANADA





We had unit # 59
A very strange set up for a  motel




We had to go around to the back
of this building to get to our unit
The motel seemed to consume a city block




We had breakfast at the local cafe
This fellow was waiting for his owner




His owner probably told him
not to 'talk' to strangers
He wouldn't have anything
to do with us!





All settled in again
The cats love my lap!





Yeah




These Alberta grain elevators
are still in use





We are in cowboy country
Hats and boots





Lethbridge Alberta
Original home of the
 Royal Canadian Mounted Police





Happy face on a barn
Trans Canada Highway





This grocery cart will be filled with wedding presents for 
Curt and Chris that we
brought out with us




This is an excellent book
which I read
along the way





Three Sisters
Coming into Canmore





This little gal was peddling
as fast as she could





Coming into Banff National Park





A beautiful sight





Building another crossover
for the wildlife





Chateau Lake Louise




Truly a magnificent hotel
 Our home for
the next few days
