Canada part 3

Day 5, we made use of my pass to Radium Hot Springs which just in the the Kootenay Park. Originally, the springs had a different name. I am much to lazy to go check my literature for what it was. The current name is courtesy of some scientific person discovering a small amount of radioactive particles in the water. Rest assured there are is not enough to harm anyone. The pool was quite comfy running about 100 degrees F.


Soaking in Hot Springs is a good way to relax. When we returned to our 'villa', Dad took a two hour nap. I chatted with Mom and we worked on our knitting. Mom choose not take a dip so she didn't get hit with the sleepy effects of hot water.

In the evening we headed over to Invermere for dinner taking the back road which provides a lovely view of the Canadian Rockies but very few places to stop and take pictures. We were trying to not jam the road and get called tourists. Although driving the speed limit with Idaho plates probably did result in few comment about us being tourists. I am sure everyone who works for the Royal Canadian Police are very nice but we didn't want to verify this.
