The meaning of "being in awe" continues to grow as I go through life. At one years old I was in awe of people who could read, as a kid I was in awe when I watched adults laughing, swimming, talking, crying. As a teen I have been in awe with younger kids succeeding at something I never had imagined them doing before, such as a very intriguing public speech, but I have also been in awe when I am flying around the world; providing me with a newfound sense of how big, and beautiful the earth truly is. Today mountains were added to my list of "things that increase my own meaning of "being in awe."
Pictures cannot capture the craggy mountains we are seeing here every minutes. They seemed to be getting bigger every further kilometre we got into the Rockies. Our car windows were filled to the degree that we had to completely change our body position in order to see the top of these beauties.
We hiked up to Agnes Lake, a total of 3.4km uphill. It was raining the entire time, but when we arrived at the Teahouse, we were greeted with the best hot chocolate I have ever tasted. The warm drinks gave us the energy to go right back down the mountain. We all slept on the ride back home. :P
(Above) These pictures are of Moraine Lake. There are ten peaks in view at this particular park, including glaciers. The water was very blue, and the rocks very slippery after the rain!
These pictures are from Lake Louise. We were disappointed to see that the clouds and rain would not allow us to take good pictures, but by the time we came back from our hike the clouds cleared enough to provide these two photos.
