After a pretty full day yesterday we decided to kick back today and relax, it is Saturday (had to check that) after all. We visited the Miette Hot Springs about 30miles outside of Jasper and were treated to our first glimpse of a wolf on the side of the road and slowed down by goats grazing on the road (in the middle of 90km/h highway). Driving through more beautiful scenery we got to the hot springs. The water is cooled down as it leaves the earth to a relaxing 39 degrees with views of mountains all around you. It could have been idyllic, in reality it looked just like a couple of swimming pools. I guess we had visions of a boiling hot muddy pool of water in the middle of some rocks. It was lovely and relaxing, and we even tried the cold plunge pool.
This evening we went to get a Chinese. Lee quickly ordered his usual multitude of dishes only to be told by the waiter that it was too many, and he had some better choices. The waiter disappeared, brought back two beers (we had ordered diet cokes). Then brought back two completely random dishes with one from our original order instead of the five Lee had ordered. Okay, the waiter got the quantity right but we didn't exactly get the food we wanted. Still it was very funny not to be given a choice.
