Is that your final antler?

So says the message on the T-shirt in the Banff gift shop. Here's another one: "May the forest be with you." or how about "Hairy potter" and the shirt shows a bear with a trowel and flower pot. We've been prowling around downtown Banff today, which by the way is under construction. One thing we both noticed is that there are Australians and New Zealanders working all the shops, same situation in Kelowna. No worries, just an observation.

Great drive into Banff yesterday. Spectacular scenery, even though some slopes have been entirely killed off by the pine beetles. Under the dead sticks grows up purple wildflowers and everything starts again.

Accomodations are great at the Banff Rocky Mountain Resort. The kids have moved in upstairs and the two of us are on the pull-out. Ian finally achieved his main goal of finding a new game for his DS- Pokemon diamond. We also had fun checking out the HUGE variety of gifts and crafts in the shops. It truly is amazing.

Signing off for now. Catch up tomorrow if I can.
