| 0:00.0 | Tranquility Tour pop up Calgary, Canada. |
| 0:18.7 | Or should I said Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Or is that just way too much information? You want to get provincial about it, sure. So, hello, I'm Kimberly, and I'm here with the lovely Tim. That was our worst open ever. That was the worst open. But I am, I'm just curious. What are you supposed to say? Are you supposed to say, I guess people just assume? |
| 0:38.9 | You need to talk in your mic first. |
| 0:52.8 | I am. I'm holding it out. Towards the right. Oh, here's the front. There we've only been doing this for seven years. I didn't know there was a front and a back. Yeah. Okay. This is why I'm around. It's just a big round thing. Like, who's the no, there's a front and a back? If anybody ever wonders why I come on Tranquility to her, I think we just proved it right there. |
| 0:57.2 | Why? |
| 0:57.9 | And he j, which is lovely. Speaking of driving, so we had, it's been a week since we last did one of these live. And we've told the story, I think, already in this room, but I think we need to tell the people. Wyoming, remember when we told you that you had |
| 1:10.9 | really good wind, you've been supplanted by the Alberta hurricane that, like, is this constant |
| 1:17.8 | thing. It destroyed Miss Lily last night. It tore off this plastic part that goes over her air |
| 1:23.9 | conditioning and heating vent. And so there's this nice guy on the road coming up on |
| 1:29.0 | highway too. He comes up to the side of us and gives me a big thumbs up. And I'm like, hey, |
| 1:33.8 | thanks. Big thumbs up. And then he's like, no, no, really up on top. Your thing is coming |
| 1:38.6 | apart. It was the funniest thing. Tim's like, oh, they thumbs up in Alberta. That's so nice. |
| 1:46.1 | I thought it was pretty cool. And then Tim, |
| 1:54.6 | the funny thing is, is we got this really sweet gift in Peoria, damask masking tape, right? Not washing tape, but masking tape. So that's what Ms. Lily. |
| 2:19.9 | Oh, duct tape. Duck tape. So that's what Miss Lily's air conditioning unit is put back on with his damask duct tape. I've done multiple repairs with damask duct tape. It's pretty cool. It's the only way to repair this vehicle. It's great. It looks pretty, too. Yeah. So the one thing I'll have to say thank you, Canada, for is your federal government is open and therefore your national parks are open. Yay, Waterton. Although we didn't see bears other than the faux bear. |
| 2:21.1 | I told him about the faux bear. Oh, okay. So we should tell the listeners about the faux bear. So Kimberly is deathly afraid of bears. And so she's telling the park ranger all this. And the park ranger's like, well, there could be a bear out there right now. Oh, just kidding. And then we go on this drive into this one canyon, and there's this paper bear that they just kind of stick up there as you come around the corner as if to say, you know, hey, you better slow down. |
| 2:43.6 | But it completely got, it got both of us. |
| 2:46.8 | My heart dropped. |
| 2:47.7 | Like, yeah, that would have been a good place to practice a mindful check-in. I'm slamming on the brakes, you know. You're like, oh, my God, there's the bear she told us about. Yeah, yeah. But, so Waterton National Park, Waterton Lakes National Park was gorgeous. It's for those of you who don't know where it is, it's sort of the north side of Glacier National Park in the States. But it's open. So we liked that. |
| 3:07.9 | So we went there and we camp there last night. And got destroyed. Got major wind. And it was really beautiful. And the lake is amazing. And the mountains were amazing. And we'll put up, I think we've put up a few pictures already. Yeah. They're just stunning. Really stunning. And we could go to Banff tomorrow, which I'm super excited about. |
| 3:25.5 | And they say the tea house is still open. Do you guys know what the name of the tea house is? I can't remember. I just remember there's a tea house on the walk to Lake Louise. I'm going to guess Lake Louise Tea House. Maybe. Yeah? Okay. It has an actual name to it. |
| 3:43.7 | And it's a little we hike, isn't it? |
