Banff, Alberta

So it's beautiful, but getting here was a massive pain. I don't have my map with me, so I will have to write out the whole entry of where I went when I get back to the hostel, and then post it tomorrow. But let's just go with

1) Getting into Canada is easy. They didn't even want to look at my inventory list, as long as I wasn't bringing firearms, explosives, tobacco, or alcohol into the country.
2) Mountains that are not yellow are pretty, but also frighten me.
3) Being in a national park, between a whole bunch of really high mountains when a torrential downpour and thunderstorm start is not fun - especially when people start getting mad at me because I don't want to go 90kmph.
4) I'm getting better at thinking in kmph. It helps that I can switch the GPS into kmph and not have to worry about following it on my speedometer.
5) Hostels are strange, especially when you're not there for backpacking/exploring/that type of thing. I'm at a Starbucks right now, and plan to head back and read and then sleep for a while. I have at least two roommates who appear to be sisters. We'll see what happens when they get back (their stuff was there, they've been there since yesterday).

I'll write more when I get back, and just use my laptop in the room to write about where I was and what I was doing and all that. I have wireless at my hotel tomorrow I believe, so I'll be able to post everything that I write tonight.
