Chapter - 4

(NB - To understand the series, please read first to third chapter.)

It's 5 o'clock in the morning. We got up and to the gym. The gym was equipped with state-of-the-art gym equipment. James introduced me to gym trainers. Then he trained me with various tools. It's great to be with so many different people in the gym. After two hours of exercise, we returned to our room. Arriving in the room, we took a half-hour rest. Then we bathed and got ready to have breakfast. While eating breakfast, James told me, "Let's see Elbow Falls." I said, "You've spoken out my mind. I also had a strong desire to see something like this." We put some snacks and cold drinks in a travel bag. Then we went out to see the Elbow Waterfalls.

Arriving there, James asked me, "Do you know anything about this waterfalls?" I laughed and said, "No, not at all." James said, "Elbow falls is a small set of waterfalls along the Elbow River, west of the hamlet of Bragg Creek within Kananaskis Improvement District, Alberta. They are located along Highway 66, 20KM (12mi) west of the Bragg Creek turnoff on Highway 22." I asked, "What is the total height?" He said, "It's only 3m." I was very happy with that atmosphere. The gentle breeze and natural beauty gave me a new look. Sitting there, I was interested in writing poetry. After a visit of fifty-five minutes, James smiled and said, "Sir!, this is where we spend all our time, or else we go to see other places." I said, "Let's go."

Then we went to the golf course. James asked me, "Will you play golf?" I said, "Come on, why don't I have fun with this game?" He introduced me to a golfer. The player taught me how to hold the golf stick, how to keep an eye on the ball and then how to hit the ball. The 27-hole large golf course looked evergreen. The spectators enjoyed the game. At first I couldn't hit the ball too far. But, after playing for a while, I was able to hit the ball away. But, I couldn't aim to the hole. After playing for a while, I was relieved. Then we returned to the hotel. We rested for a while and then we went to the aquatic center. Fish of various species were kept inside the glass room. Some of them were large, medium and some some small. We approached the glass wall and examined. As we leaned against the glass wall, large fishes came to us with their mouths open. The aquarium looked colourful by different coloured lights. The large aquarium contained a variety of vines, weeds and small pieces of coloured stones. We stood there and took photos. From there we went to the swimming pool. We swam there for a while. The game of swimming in blue water was a lot of fun. Some women, men and children were throwing balls and having fun catching the ball. We also participated that game. We didn't even know when it was noon when we were playing pool games.

It's two o'clock in the afternoon. We went inside the hotel for lunch. A waiter came and passed the menu book. James explained to me about the various foods on the menu chart. We ordered two vegetarian and two non-vegetarian items. I ate Nanaimo Bars and Timbits. And he ordered for Montreal smoked meat and Muktuk. The foods were of good quality and very tasty. Now we go to room to sleep.

At around 4p.m., we woke up. Then went out to see famous Lake Louise. It's surrounded by soaring mountain peaks, the majestic Victoria Glacier and glistening emerald lake. On both sides of the road; yellow, purple, red, white and pink flowers bloomed on small flowering plants doubling the natural beauty of the lake. In some places, we saw women and men dancing in groups. Some of them were playing drums and some were playing guitar and violin. Some men and women were taking photos, while others were boating, drinking juices and enjoying the cool breeze. We enjoyed Lake Louise Ski Resort.

At sunset, some couple were talking happily and eating snacks. Some of the painters painted the natural beauty of the lake at sunset. We visited all these scenes. We were also boating there. We also played chess there. Then we went to the National Park of Canada. I bewitched to see Canada's wildlife. The park is home to a large number of black bears, elk, caribou, wolves, beaver and grizzly bears. Then we went to our room at 6:30p.m.. After a while we freshened up and came out.

We sat outside the hotel in the evening and drank Cold-Brew coffee. James seemed to be distracted. I wanted to know the reason for his silence. I speculated and asked, "Did you fall in love with someone at sunset?" He smiled and shook his head. I asked, "Can I know when love happened?" He replied, "When you were playing chess with another..." I said it was great that you found your spouse. I asked with a smile, "Then let's have a party with this happiness." He laughed and said, "Why not!, I'll give you a party." I told him, "Please tell me the name and show me her photo." He showed me the photos and said, "The girl's name is Nicky." The girl looked very beautiful in the photos. I smiled and said the matter was happened just like, "To kill two birds with one stone." He rolled with a smile.

We were busy in talking. We didn't know when it was dinner. We stopped the conversation and went out to eat. After eating, he paid for the meal. I asked James, "Why did you pay for the meal?" He said with a smile, "You could have asked me for a party..." I laughed. James bought two beer bottles and asked me for one. But, I refused. He said, "It's made from fruit juice. It's not addictive." We both drank and gossiped. Two hours later we went to bed in our room.
