Day 9: Banff National Park

Today we left the US and crossed into Canada. We're staying in Banff National Park. Brant's friend Dallas who is currently working in AK and has made this drive before told us that Banff was more beautiful than Glacier, and we didn't really think that was possible - but it was! I think a lot of our pictures look fake they are so beautiful and perfect! Today was the first day that it really felt cold outside - it was probably only around 50 plus the wind. ( I know that's not cold to some of you, but to us Southerners it is!) We stayed downtown Banff at the Banff Aspen Lodge. We checked in and were unpacking some stuff and Brant and I both felt it was really warm in the room. We called the front desk to tell them we didn't think our air was working - "Ma'am, that's because we dont' have air conditioning!" Again! It was pretty warm, but luckily we had a fan :) We did some laundry, walked around the town, and ate dinner at Wild Bills. Brant really wanted a good steak, but we couldn't find a place that had less than a $40 steak! So, he settled for a 7 oz steak at Wild Bills that he said looked like a chicken finger - haha. We went to bed pretty early because we had a 10.5 hour drive to Dawson Creek, British Columbia the next day. We still don't have great service, so no pictures :( We are planning on going on a hike tomorrow in Banff or Jasper.
