</figure> <p>Le 31 juillet est une journée dédiée à faire une bonne portion de route vers le parc national Jasper car celle-ci est très scénique, réputée pour les nombreux glaciers qui la jalonnent. La plupart du temps, nous avons pu profiter de la vue simplement en nous garant sur le côté, mais parfois nous dûmes activer les patounes pour tel lac ou telle cascade.</p>
<p lang="en">On the 31th of July we mainly drove on the way to Jasper national park, a road packed with lots of viewpoints, especially glaciers. Most of the time we could just park the car to enjoy the scenery, but occasionally we walked a little bit further to some remote lake or cascade.</p>

<p>Nous sommes restés un petit moment au canyon Mistaya pour quelques photos périlleuses, puis sur le conseil fourbe d'un panneau nous sommes 3 à avoir marché vers un belvédère qui n'arrivait jamais (et au vu des inscriptions sur les panneaux intermédiaires, nous n'étions pas les seuls à avoir été dupés par l'absence d'indication de distance). Nous avons rebroussé chemin au bout d'un quart d'heure histoire de retrouver les autres qui devaient se demander où on était.</p>
<p lang="en">We stayed a little longer than usual at the Mistaya canyon to snap some perillous pictures, then on the advice of a rogue sign, 3 of us walked to a belvedere that wasn't nearby at all (and considering the annoyed manual inscriptions on the intermediate signs, we weren't the first to have been fooled by the lack of mileage!). After a quarter of an hour we walked back to the rest of our party who must have wondered where we were.</p>

<p>Après avoir repris la route nous nous sommes arrêtés au hasard dans une zone qui en réalité était un terrain de camping, sauf qu'immédiatement après que l'on se soit garés sur le bas-côté, on a remarqué qu'autour de nous il y avait des gens dans les voitures environnantes qui nous faisaient de grands signes… on s'était garés à deux pas d'un ours en train de faire un sort aux buissons d'à côté. Oui, après avoir pesté contre les sans gênes qui avaient fait ça juste la veille. Et dire que sans les autres personnes on ne l'aurait probablement même pas remarqué ! (On allait repartir).</p>
<p lang="en">A little while after we stopped again on the road in a area that happened to be a camping site. Only as soon as we had parked the car we noticed that in other cars nearby people were weaving at us… yup, there was a bear only a few meters away, giving a rough time to the bushes. Remember how only the previous day we had been so irritated by the careless tourist that did the same thing — well, consciously, alas. If it wasn't for the other folks I don't think we would have noticed! (We were about to leave).</p>

<p>Je tenais absolument à faire un arrêt à une maison de thé car c'est pas tout les jours qu'on tombe sur ce genre d'établissement mais l'endroit était noir de monde et semblait être des plus banals contrairement à ce que le nom laissait présager, donc, tant pis. Sur le chemin du retour, on s'est séparés en deux groupes, car mon père et mon oncle voulaient bifurquer sur une seconde balade, celle qui mène au lac Agnès. Nouzot', nous avions prévu de rentrer au chalet en navette, sauf que dans les faits on n'en a pas trouvé pas qui allait au bon endroit, alors malheureusement, bien malgré nous et nos pieds douloureux nous aussi nous nous sommes lancés dans une seconde balade… Rentrés à pied à travers la forêt, sur un chemin qui bien que très facile était beaucoup moins fréquenté que je ne l'aurais imaginé. Ouais, glacier -> maison entièrement à pied !</p>
<p lang="en">I had had a mind to try the tea house but the place was absolutely crowded and worse still, it wasn't at all the neat and cosy place the name induced me to think it was as far as the menu was concerned. On the way back, we split in two groups as my father and uncle wanted to go see lake Agnès. Me and my siblings intended to get back to town with a shuttle but it turned out that none went where we were headed, so in spite of our sore feets, we walked back to our lodgings through a trail in the forest, a really easy hike, which made me expect to stumble upon many families but we barely met a soul. Glacier -> home on foot only!</p>

<p>Or donc, plus tard bien que claqués et à deux doigts de siester nous avions réussi à nous motiver pour profiter de la piscine. Au moment où j'allais ouvrir la porte pour sortir, mon père et mon oncle ont frappé pour nous annoncer l'impensable : <em>Who pooped in da pool? Who? Who? Who? Who?</em> En se rendant sur les lieux pour en savoir plus, sans déconner, <strong>scotch jaune façon scène de crime</strong>. Moi je lui aurais fait boire son œuvre, à ce merdeux.</p>
<p lang="en">A little bit later in the day, despite being utterly tired and very close to napping we managed to find enough motivation to go swimming. But at the moment when I was about to open the door, my father and uncle knocked to inform us of a grave news: Who pooped in the pool? Who? Who? Who? Who? No kidding, we went to make sure and there was <strong>yellow tape and all, crime scene-style</strong>. Lucky they didn't give any names because I would have that little piece of shit drink his own masterpiece.</p>
