We’ve just arrived in Banff, and I plan to write up the day’s events shortly, but I had to share one quick story: as we walked into our room at the Banff Springs the first thing we did was look at the view. It’s a nice one: we can see mountains (obviously), some of the town, the Bow River and even Bow Falls. What we also saw was an elk wandering around the lawn and eating the flowers, standing next to the Canadian flag.

An old CP hotel, the Rocky Mountains, an elk and the Maple Leaf…it just doesn’t get much more Canucky than that.

More later. Must unwind.
