THE FAIRMONT CHATEAU, LAKE LOUISE

This place maybe a bit over the top for us than usual however they have the best pillows I've ever sleep on.

Today we have experienced all kinds of weather.  Ian was up early and caught the sun on the lake.  By the time he came back it had clouded over and we had breakfast during a thunder storm and hail.  We then met up with some people we met on the train for coffee and light snow fell - not enough to settle on the ground though.  
Ian braved the showers and went off for a walk to Fairview lookout.  The rain has come and gone all day.  This afternoon we walked around the rim of the lake in intermittent rain.

It is a long weekend Canada and there have been a number of weddings during the day.  The bridal party all go out in the showers to have their photos taken in front of the lake.  Why hasn't a photographer come up with a green backdrop and then superimpose the images later instead of having these poor brides standing there in there wedding gowns under umbrellas freezing.   Crazy.
