| Up, up, up! |
Shortly after Mum left for Australia, I decided that the best way to
lift myself out of the 'blue' period I was experiencing since her departure was to go for a scenic and strenuous
hike in the Canadian Rockies. It was the perfect anti-depressant - 16 kilometres
of beautiful scenery along the Galatea Lakes hike. The hike took us
through the woods alongside a fast-flowing stream and up to Lillian Lake
where we stopped for lunch. We then decided to take the short 1.5
kilometre hike up to Lower Galatea Lake ... short but strenuous. The effort was worth it though and we spent some time at Lower Galatea Lake
soaking our feet in the cold water (Abbey was even brave enough to take a
swim) before heading back down to the trailhead. Galatea Lakes was
the perfect hike for a homesick girl ... it reminded me of why I live in
this beautiful place and of all the wonderful things in life. (But, I still do miss my family and homeland!)
