Now that name might sound a bit quaint but, let me tell you something, the Brewster's are to Alberta what the Rockefellers were to New York!! Through five successive generations they created, developed and expanded a business empire that encompasses a wide range of enterprises.
The lodge where we stayed was illustrative of their approach to things. Every fixture, fitting, molding and decoration was ordered especially for this structure - including much of the furniture.
Nestled on the corner of Caribou and Bear Streets, the lodge exhibits an unassuming demeanor until you walk through the door.
Although relatively modest in size it is a great place to stay and we enthusiastically recommend it.
After we got back from our pilgrimage we took a little time to relax and have glass of wine to toast the day we started thinking of dinner and where we should go to eat. Lemme tell ya - in this town there is absolutely no shortage of restaurants across the entire spectrum of cuisines, costs and atmospheres. Since this was a special day for us we decided to try a place that was kinda nice. We had heard of "The Saltlik Restaurant" and decided to give it a try. The menu was extensive and pretty much 'a la carte' throughout. So, we ordered our meal with a few extras such as braised asparagus, small garden salad and a few sautéed mushrooms. Well!!!! We wound up with enough veggies to feed twenty Vegans for a week!! The meal was very good and a good way to conclude our day.
Leaving the restaurant Sherwood (always on the lookout for that extra special guy) thought she had spotted "the one!" You know what they say about a man in uniform ... But, we voted and decided that he probably fell short in some critical areas, so the search continues. (Actually, I've been quizzing the staff at the lodge about any "eligible Brewster's" we might be able to introduce her to!!!) So we headed for the lodge and some long awaited down time. Today was a great day and one I think we will long remember so we'll say "...that's a wrap" for today and prepare for new adventures. See Ya!
