Alaska: Day 4 (8 June 09)

Another long day. Rained on us all morning. Crossed the border at Eureka with no problems. The Canadian customs agent had to be one of the prettiest young women I have ever seen. She asked me why I'd come to Canada and I said I'd heard the world's most beautiful women were here. She just laughed.

The afternoon turned gorgeous -- sunshine and one of the most fantastical rides I have ever experienced: the Icefields Parkway in Japser National Park. Photos don't do the place justice. Even if you have to drive a car, go see the place before you die. I thought Banff was spectacular. The Icefields Parkway easily topped Banff.

It was about 10 p.m. when we finally arrived in Jasper -- back on schedule! Everything was closed except for a bar where we managed to snag some hamburgers and beer. I sweet-talked the l'il Australian honey at a motel to give us a $199 room for $99. Ayup, still got it. (Or she was just afraid we'd go somewhere else. LOL.)
