Greetings from Banff!
This is my first blog post so bear with me if it's not the best piece of writing in the world. I arrived in Banff today and it's probably the most picturesque place I've ever been.
After my flight arrived in Calgary I took a shuttle to the Fairmont where I'll be working. Our driver was pretty interesting, pointing out areas of interest as well as a surprising number film locations for movies like Brokeback Mountain, The Edge and Unforgiven.
After arriving at the hotel and checking into the staff accomodations I debated going for a run but considering I got tired just carrying my bags to my room I decided to walk to town instead. Apparently Banff is the highest altitude town in North America. One of the photos to the right is of the Banff Springs Hotel and the other is the view from the river when walking into downtown Banff.
I'm off to find some supper now.
wow! the photos are stunning! never thought about the change in oxygen at that altitude.
ReplyDeleteHow's the room? do you have a room mate?
We couldn't believe it when we got your email saying you had already landed. We figured you caught an earlier shuttle.
ReplyDeleteWe spent part of the day in Chelsea with Liz, Ziad, and Ella. That's where we got your text!
Adam and I were both really glad that we got to give you breakfast and lunch. Hope the cash buys you a nice dinner tonight!
Love the posts. I've loved your writing since I started editing your high school essays. Keep it coming. You'll be so glad you have a record of your summer.
xoxo,
Riva
Nice pics of Mt. Rundle. Hope to see more!

Awesome pictures man, it's funny that they look a lot like the ones I took when I was out there. For some reason I actually had no idea it was the Fairmont you are working at, that place is sick. Keep the updates coming!
