Banff wildlife

Least Chipmunk (or maybe Yellow-pine Chipmunk?) in Sunshine Meadows

We didn’t see any of the big creatures in Canada this year like we saw in Alaska last year. No bears, moose, coyotes, foxes, wolverines, elk, or bighorn sheep. We did see a variety of rodents though.

Can you name the country with the highest GDP per capita?

luxembourg

Luxembourg

Probably also wins for the highest amount of capital grounds covered in trees.

Heading to Jasper (sort of)

Icefields Parkway alberta canada

Icefields Parkway (Alberta, Canada)

We booked three nights in Jasper a few months ago. However, the place we booked burned to the ground during the 2024 Jasper Wildfires (less than three weeks before we got there). So we found a place in Golden instead. On our way to Golden from Banff, we drove up the Icefields Parkway as far as was permitted before heading to Golden. Amazing scenery! While it’s a bummer that we didn’t get to experience Jasper, maybe this will encourage us to come back someday to see what we couldn’t this time.

Völklinger Hütte

Ironworks (Saarland, Germany)

I visited this place about a week before I was seeing Rammstein again. I really felt like Rammstein tunes should have been on in the background. The buildings and the music have a synergy.
