Today was my second day of orientation, I'll post some pictures of the inside of the hotel when I have a chance to go take some. Since the blog didn't post the best picture of Banff I took from Sulfur mountain I posted it again. There is a much better view of Cascade Mountain in the background.
It has come to my attention that Dan the deer may be an elk. I don't think this is the case as I saw a herd of elk today on the golf course. There were about 20-30 and they were much larger than Dan and they had not shed their winter coats yet, but if someone is sure let me know! I'll bring my camera to work sometime and take pictures of the elk to compare.
I made it up to the Upper Hot Springs last night with some of my co-workers. It was excellent, the water was very warm and there is a great view of the mountains. It also started to snow a little bit while we were up there which was pretty cool.
The weather has been pretty bad lately, very cold with some snow, so I haven't been out to do much but get a library card and try some certified Alberta beef. I'll hopefully have a more interesting post later in the week about the hotel and have some pictures of the inside and the golf course.
Hey Al,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the email. These posts are amazing. You have such an easy writing style. I love that you're getting 24/7 free food out there. Adam figures that they didn't know what they were getting into when they gave a 6'5" dude unlimited access to the cafeteria! Hahaha.
Everything is great here. We are making headway on the wedding plans. Actually, I am making headway. Adam is enjoying his newfound freedom from school.
Talk to you soon.
xoxo,
Riva

Hi Allen:
ReplyDeleteWell I thought there were deer up there...but are they 'special' deer? like mountain deer? Oh deer!
I've been checking the temp online and see it's been 0 or below with snow forecasts there!!! Is anyone golfing in the weather???? Have you had a chance to wear the rain suit???
Beautiful photo of Cascade Mountain! hope the library has some good books!
Take care!
Nice to have this blog to keep up with what your up to out there. We thought maybe you had seen an elk because they are so common in town in the summer but that definitely looks like a deer. I guess they have two kinds of deer out there, mule and white-tailed. Keep the posts coming.
