I woke up early this morning. Actually I woke up very early. I still had my cellphone on Montreal time and forgot to change it. Owen had to get up at 8:30AM and I wanted to get up and start apartment hunting and exploring Canmore. When the alarm went off I got up, dressed, and was making coffee when Owen asked...Do you know what time it is?
Um...8:30?
No...6:30.
6:30...not pretty.
Later, like two hours later, I re-got-up and looked out the window of our room and took the above photo. There are basically majestic mountain peaks in all directions. The three peaks on the left are called Three Sisters and are the easiest to recognize. I wonder if they have their own names? As a twin I can say that they should each have their own names and be treated as individuals or they will probably get quite aggressive and competitive.
The town claims to have 12,000 residents but it seems smaller. I mean it falls somewhere between Norton, KS and Westport, MO for size comparisons. There are few streets and not many buildings over two stories. I walked around and checked out the trail along the river and the downtown area. It's all that rocky-mountain-beautiful you get in Colorado without all the jackass Republicans and California transplants. In addition it's all impeccably well maintained. I'm surprised that it isn't more expensive.
Owen and I have found apartments listed for under $1000 and if you're willing to have roommates you can pay as little as 400 to 600 to share a house. I wish I had know about Canmore when I was going to UMKC I would have abandoned KC every summer! We're going to look at a place this evening that we both hope we like since the landlord seems like she wants us to rent it she works in the same building that Owen's gallery is in. The only problem is that it's not available until the 1st and that would mean six more days of living in a tent...."Egh, sick," according to Steven the Navajo Tranny.
