Day 7. Hello Canada, blogging by the fire

We got up early & ate another hearty breakfast of eggs & toast. We packed up & left the park at
8:00am. We headed due North & sailed through customs without a hitch. We wandered through Calgary a few times until finally heading west into Banff.

We are staying in Banff for 2 nights & again pitched the tent. We finally have a campfire. Until now, it has been too hot or too dry for fires. We are blogging in the dark in front of the campfire. The computer doesn't seem to mind the smoke, although Jim does.

We did a little site seeing in Banff including the Banff Springs Hotel (Jim & Karen stayed there when Karen was pregnant with Gregory). We ate at a little restaurant in town where Pepe had Bison & Jim had Elk. They were both tasty.

Tomorrow, we'll explore Banff a little more. We'll let you know what we do.

What are the differences between Banff with Pepe an Karen w/ child? Can you notice the glacer melting away from the last time you were there due to global warming?

Jim said what global warming, it was in the low 40's this morning. I think he would much rather be with family.
This is my first blog ever and I am sitting in a coffee shop with all of the other computer geeks, stone age meets computer age.
