this is almost at the start of our journey... (see the lively mexicans in the backgrnd?) hahah...

this bus was our 'home' for a grand total of 4 days. hahaha.. we travelled about 1,500 km in total. canada is a REALLY huge place.

we had a really cool kitchen on the first nite.. that's one of my brazilian roomies in the foreground. i love microwaved ham and cheese burgers. totally made my day. haha.. all of us were cheapos and opted to bring our own bread (i bought cold burgers from the cafeteria).. so we were all super sian of bread by the end of 5 days.

this was taken from the front of our lodge after the first nite

this was my first sight of the snow... i've seen snow before, in yellowstone.. but never snow fall... and it was like a winter wonderland.. let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

emerald lake... chio chio chio~ doesn't it look like a pretty postcard? i took tons of pics that look like postcards! u guys will see soon enuff.

melissa made a tiny snow man.. cute hor!

took a pic wif mike (our tour guide) at lake louise. the lake was named after a princess.

lake louise! the winter look of lake louise is really pretty... pity we couldn't go ice skating on the lake, bcoz it wasn't frozen enuff yet. i would haf loved to try ice skating on a lake!

johnston canyon.. our next stop. =)

pics of the johnston canyon... we had to walk on this catwalk that was SO slippery there were some parts where we had to literally grab onto the railings and SLIDDEEE down... hahaha.. it was kinda like skiing.

at the end of the very very slippery catwalk, was our reward: the lower falls.

this is where marilyn monroe filmed one of her movies. can't remember what the title of that movie was bcoz i din noe of it, but apparently she 'fell' down those falls. betcha it was a stunt double.

downtown banff at nitehaha.. becky and i bought a whole chicken each for dinner that nite coz we had mega cravings for meat. eating bread for so many meals straight gets bad fast. haha..

these were my roomies! anna, debora, ellince and me. =) they're from brazil, and v v sweet.

this is downtown banff when there's light. we walked arnd for quite a bit coz we had time

think mel looks really gd wif this cowboy hat, so i juz had to put it up

cheryl and i tried out the food at the ol' spaghetti factory. it has several outlets every where in canada & usa. very delicious spaghetti, big portions. nice tiramisu as well! (can't beat bakerzin, but better than nothing)

snow snow snowwwww

as u can see, we encountered all 4 seasons in our rockies trip. *grin* a touch of spring (kinda), summer, autumn and winter!

beautiful!!! *gush gush gush* haha.. ok. i'll stop itcaught these beautiful pics of the sun setting on our way back into vancouver.
