Kwak Travel Photos

Love all the pics and videos Kris!

And I have to say, I'm so excited that you and Phyrie have met.
It's very exciting to me when forum regulars meet face to face, and I love hearing all about it!

I just watched the videos and I have to say I like that male pole dancer. The horses were lovely as well!

Were the figure skating pair, Sale & Pelletier? I also wondered who the male skater was as he looked a bit like Elvis Stojko.

It looks like you are having a great time. I think you will love Banff.

The pair was Tess Virtue and Scott Moir 2010 Olympic Gold Medalists and World Champions.
The Male was in fact Elvis Stojko. I too liked the pole dancer ( but I think he would rather be called an acrobat) I took the video for the ladies of the forum. Thought you all could use some eye candy.

I have to pick which pictures to post and upload them to photobucket so you have to wait a little longer. But more pictures are coming I promise.

Kwak, I was so tired last night. I am rather amused that I managed to pick out Elvis Stojko and yet referred to another Olympic pair, as opposed to the two that are from London, Ontario and just won at the Olympics this year.

I am glad you managed some video of the "acrobat" I think there might be one or two of us that would enjoy viewing that.

I am looking forward to your new pictures and videos.

Kris, I'm loving all the photos, can't wait to see more, after you get some rest.

Mirror Lake, Hiking to this lake almost killed me. I didn't realize the hike was all uphill.2.7km Uphill.
Then 2.7 back down. Boy was I sore.

Deb, I was talking to a couple at the ice show that was from London, Ontario. They were shocked that I knew where it was.
I just told them I knew someone who lived there.

Beautiful pics Kris! I imagine it was even more breath taking in real life.

It was. I'm already thinking I need to come back. But next time I'm going to workout, lose weight and do some hiking at home before I come. Oh and I need 3 more people to come with me. Most trails they want you to hike in groups of 4 or more. It was a little scary hiking on my own. I always asked the information office which trails were ok for a single person to hike alone and they would tell me. But then would add. Make sure you make a lot of noise and yell every once in a while in case there is a bear nearby. Does keep you motivated to keep moving. I didn't take many rest breaks, just photo stops.

Cyndy I had to take a few flower pictures for all the flower lovers on the forum. I'm glad you liked them.

Kwak, it's a small world

Your pictures are just spectacular! I'm glad you are enjoying yourself. I can't wait to see the rest of your pictures, including one of you and Phyrie.

Kris you are killing me!!! I know how beautiful western Canada is but seeing pictures makes me miss it just a wee bit. Not enough to move back yet....

Can't wait to see the one of you and Phyrie - I am with RJM...I love it when fellow DPers get to meet in person.
