Dining at the Chateau

Fri. 22 April (Good Friday):  Dining at the Chateau

Today L. and I made one of our infrequent trips to the mountains together to enjoy a leisurely lunch at the Chateau Lake Louise.  It was a stunning, cloudless day and we were amazed by the amount of snow still piled up all around the Chateau.




 

Our table was right in front of one of those beautiful arched windows looking directly out onto the lake.  Can there be a more spectacular setting for a meal?  I doubt it.


People were enjoying the thrill of strolling out into the middle of the frozen lake, or taking sleigh rides along the paths below the hotel.  It will be a few weeks until all this snow melts and the canoes appear once again on the lake.  It has been a long winter - and it's not over yet.
