oooon tour =): amaaaazing... =) rocky mountains....

last tuesday we were on a few job fairs, but as always we didn't hear anything until now...
it's getting a little bit depressing. but we won't give up... tomorrow we are going on tour again... one day we must be lucky...

on wednesday i was at school... and in the afternoon we went to stanely park to see the "beautiful" christmas lights.
unfortunately i forget my camera but i was typically amercian like always. =)

on thursday after school we booked our snowboard lessons for the rockies =) and i had to pack all my things because we left on friday.

friday morning at 7 o'clock we left for a awesome rocky mountains tour.
it was great. our first stop was in a village named "hope"... in this village they filmed the movie rambo... it's a cute little village. it was exactely what i expected from a canadian village in the country side. soooo beautiful =)
after a few more hours driving we arrived in kamloops where we ate lunch.
then we drove through the canadian desert and yoho national park.
in the evening we went snow tubing. it was sooo funny =)
the tubes were sooo fast =)
after an hour fun we checked-in in our first hotel in golden.

on saturday we had to stand up early because we drove to lake louise.
lake louise is sooo beautiful... amaaaazing...
some of us skated on the lake and the others walked around the frozen lake.
i walked through the snow and on the ice =)
we made "schneeball schlacht" against the spanish boys. it was soooo much fun!
later we continued our journey to banff. =)
in banff we took the condola to go to the top of the mountain. it was a breathtaking view.
and the weather was sooooo nice. the sun was shining =) and i got my first sunburn in Canada.
the gondola was made in Switzerland =) wuuuhu... but it was soooo funny. the had to abut on the gonodola that it moved. haha =)
in the evening we went out, to the only night club in banff =)
after some hours dancing we had to go home because the disco closed at 2 o'clock.
tamara, natalia, pili and I waited on the street for a taxi.
then a white car with blue and red stripes was about to drive past, so tamara an me stand on the street that it stops so that we can get in.
so we called the others that a taxi is here and we wanted to go to the car. buuuut suddenly the car drove away, so i thought it was an idiot of a taxi driver.
we were claming and grumbling... but then tamara recognised that it wasn't a taxi but a police car... hahahaha
when we arrived at the hotel we were soooo tired that we wanted to go to bed imediately. but the door of our room was closed.... but why that...
hehe.... sometimes boys and girls are going come together... :P
so we waited a couple of minutes in the lobby and when we came back we could go to bed, fortunately =)

the next day our trip was leading us to the most beautiful village i've ever seen, to Panorama Mountain Village.
It's a cute little, little village. In the rental shop, the man who rented me the snowboard things was a Swiss guy =) what a coincidence. =)
so we made our way to the mountain to try us on the snowboard. it was my first time.
but it was great. i really like to snowboard although it was very exhausting.
after this hard afternoon we unwound in the local hot spring. it was awesome.
we were supposed to have a bonfire and delicious marshmallows =) but the hotel forgot to make a fire. so we went back to the hotel and drunk a little bit of alcohol :P

and on monday we drove back to vancouver! it was a really, really great experience.
i love the rocky mountains =) soooo awesome.

today katie, marielle and me went to the botanic garden. hehe unfortunaltey there were not many flowers. koooooomisch =) but it was amusing. =)
