Waterton Lakes National Park in the fall : a quick getaway from Calgary

A couple days in the City of Glass : Vancouver
I had to be in Vancouver for administrative reasons a couple times throughout our roadtrip aka I needed to redo my passport at the French Consulate. We only stayed a couple days there, not because we didn’t like it, on the contrary I wish we had spent more time there. But with the van, it…
