Besides in Lakota, Háu is only a greeting from men to men so you pretty much ignored all the females on this thread 😜. Better to use the gender neutral Haŋ (pronounced hahn) or Haŋ Mašké if greeting a friend 🤗. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell when I was in America people didn't even understand my English😂. All I could do was note the differences to communicate as accurately as possible, sometimes even had to alter my accent to be understood and I don't have a great American accent😬.

Blackduck59 Posted September 12, 2021 Author #4187 Share Posted September 12, 2021 One of the big highlights of the trip was the drive up the icefield parkway. It is a very pleasant drive on an excellent road. We encountered very few other vehicles. We made a few stops for photos but somehow the camera just can't capture the majesty of those vistas. I gave up and just drank in the view as we went along 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a particular part that no matter what I did with my camera it just didn't match the real world view. I don't know how some photographers do it, maybe I have the wrong equipment or not enough knowledge🤔. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackduck59 Posted September 12, 2021 Author #4193 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I have driven through the Rockies several times, this was the first time doing the entire Icefield Parkway and also the first time we were not rushing to or from somewhere.

Blackduck59 Posted September 12, 2021 Author #4200 Share Posted September 12, 2021 That waterfall was impressive. Of course some millennials had their dance music blaring on the full sized SUV (it was a hybrid of course and it was running). After Lynn asked them to turn it off we could hear the waterfall.
