September in Alberta part 1

We met Mitch and Natasha in B.C on Halloween. Ever since, we have been friends and on Sept 11th we went to visit them in Alberta. Alberta is known for its cattle industry, farming and oil. The place we visited was called Lethbridge. Jack rented a car and we drove 14 hours through the Canadian rockies. they were breathtaking! 

 We drove through Banff on the way and I felt very close to it since I had seen so many photos of Marilyn Monroe there in August 1953. 
 We arrived in Alberta at 10pm. We had set out around 4.30am that morning so we felt great to finally be able to stretch our legs and be off the road. We had taken many stops ofcourse (plenty of tim hortons). 
The next day, we went to Medicine Hat to meet Mitch. It was here we saw the largest ever tepee!
we also saw the pinto potato man or bean man (whoever he is??)
 
Mitch and Natasha have 3 cats, but this is Mr.Buttons and I loved how fixed he was on this special lookout post. Dreamily, looking out of the window of his new house... watching the world go by
We visited beautiful Waterton with Its rich mountains and fresh sea air. We stood by the river and watched as the glistening blue water travelled by off into the distant mountains.
