Tranquil morning, no driving today, breakfast then loaded our dirty laundry in the car and drove the 2 km into Jasper village, charming little town with some interesting views:
Totem pole in center of Jasper
We found the coin laundry easily on Patricia Street, 50+ very nice, clean commercial washers and dryers, expensive (CAD$ 27.75, US$21, for our four loads), but pleasant as one corner of the building was a coffee shop with really good coffee. There were three bathrooms across the back where for C$5.00 you could have a shower. Also they had wifi and even six computers where, for a price, you could get online. This place was popular with the hiking and tenting crowds. After folding and reloading the car we found our chosen restaurant for lunch but it had too many yelling children so we opted to go across the street to Smitty’s where it was pleasant but the food was so-so. After lunch we walked 20 feet to the grocery store, did some shopping, then another 50 feet we found the liquor store just where our car was parked. Having stocked up on the necessities we made our way back to the campground at Whistler’s Mountain, made up our bed and had a nice nap. Later we spent time getting our sums in order converting our expenses in C$ to real money, then read a while before retiring. As Bill Clinton used to sign off in his diary “RON” - rest over night.
