Okay, I’m returning to this blog after a good nights sleep. That Scott McClellan book was putting me to sleep in the van. Last night, I could barely stay up past midnight for some reason. I woke up early today, all geared up for a chilly Canadian run in the quaint little town of Golden, AB and not 1 1/2 miles into it, the rain starts pouring down. I don’t mind running in the rain as long as it’s a warm summer rain. This was an annoying cold rain, but Chris Brown, M.I.A and the Sugababes got me back to the hotel feeling good. After a quick stop at the local grocery store, where a local asked us if we were in an “emo” band, we hit the road for Calgary. The boys and I had the good fortune of driving through the Yoho and Banff national parks in broad daylight. Canada is so beautiful. Right when we left Golden, we saw a huge pack of mountain goats literally on the other side of the highway shoulder divider. They were enormous! Must’ve been twenty goats just kickin’ it next to the high way.
All the water we saw—streams, rivers and a lakes—was a cool blue. I’m so used to the average American brown-hued bodies of water, so seeing this color everywhere was truly breathtaking. I wanted to jump right in! The highway that took us through the national parks was laid over and between huge mountains. Some black and craggy, other’s tall and covered in snow and all of them enormous and covered in trees--absolutely beautiful beyond description.
So now I’m just hanging out back stage at the MacEwan Ballroom, looking forward to a great show. I’m sure it will be!
oh, haha, and here are a couple pics I took with my iSight camera in the van...
