Hey Blog,
As I write this, the hottest day in Vancouver’s history is less than a day old, and I am one of its recovering victims. Coming from the humid and hellish summer that Toronto has to offer (except for this year, apparently) should mean we were well equipped to handle the almost week long heat wave that’s been sticking (literally) with us since Edmonton. However, neither Edmonton, nor Vancouver (especially not Vancouver) really know how to burn the hell out of an air conditioner, or even a FAN, so we’ve been mostly stewing in our own juices (ew) for the past week or so.
We did get a brief respite while crossing through the rockies. We opted to do the touristy thing and drive all the way through Jasper and Banff on the Icefields Parkway. Our decision was not a regrettable one.
Although pictures do not, of course, do justice to one of the most beautiful drives in the world, here’s a couple:
Yeah, I was pretty over it by that point. Yeah yeah, turquoise water, mountains, trees, wildlife…what ELSE you got?
Just gearing up for the big gig at the Railway Club tonight in Vancouver. Promises to be a good one (and perhaps a sweaty one, depending on how much of this much welcome ocean breeze makes it into the downtown core. Let’s hope it does).
Big live action documentation of our rocky adventures in the video blog below. We had obviously spent wayyyyyyy too much time in the prairies judging by how excited we got at the site of distant hills and big trees.
