Day 9 - in Jasper (Post #4)


We did the touristy thing and had one of the people on our bus take our photo in front of the thing just before we went back to the Icefield Center. Note, if you can, the size of the tires on these buses. They are about 4 1/2 feet in diameter and are about 3' wide! The driver said the tires are inflated to about 15 psi and the vehicle has a top speed of 18 mph. Truly one of the oddest vehicles I've ever ridden in.
Almost forgot to say that, in spite of the bright sunshine, it was quite chilly on that glacier! Like a dope, I had left our hotel with my long shorts on, forgetting to bring anything with more appropriate warmth. I was the only one so dressed!
