Mostly, we drove today, but wow... the drive was fantastic. The scenery was breath taking and we did the silly touristy thing of taking pictures from the car windows.
Even though we spent most of the day in the car we spotted lots of wild life, a wolf hustling from one side of the highway to the other. As we entered the Banff National Park, three VERY large rams were dining by the roadside. We've successfully avoided elk and hope to keep our streak alive.
Once in Banff we explored the cute downtown area and met up with friends from Seattle for a nice dinner. Jason is on his third night of the Steak Across the America's program and found his dinner tonight to be the best. My goal for tomorrow will be a non-beef experience for dinner.
We headed back to the hotel where I knew we had wine, a fireplace and a new honeymoon nightgown waiting. The nightie is cute, the wine good, but the fireplace was a colossal failure. We (no, I) smoked up the room so much that Jason can't breathe.
We scrapped the romantic evening and am now tucked into bed (because we have to have the windows open to air our the room) and are watching a movie we brought.
oh well...
on a creepy note, we stopped at a rest area early in the day and the place was a spider nightmare. There were literally hundreds of tiny black bodied bugs with long legs all over the outside of the outhouses and they covered the ceiling of the inside. We both really needed the rest stop and risked the ick factor. None of the spiders moved an inch during the visit, but both Jason and I had that "something is crawling on me" feeling for hours. In fact, I itch just thinking about it.
