 A very cheerful well kept place.  Glad to find good rooms a accommodation and slept soundly and had good night's rest.
July 25.  Slept late and the fine weather gave us a never to be forgotten impression of this beautiful landscape with Lake Louise in [[strikeout]]center [[/strikeout]] its midst. Service all done by Japs for bell boys and by chinese in pajamas for dining room.  Loitered around in the sun and in the woods during morning.
