Subject: RE: TAN #11: Shamelessly Pad Your Post Count Here!Morning TAN. Just dropping a quick line to say I'm back from up North. Tons of catch up to do in the office. Very quick trip summary. Banff is absolutely beautiful. The area is just gorgeous. We were at a place called The Banff Centre (yes that is the right spelling for up there). Anyway, we came out of the theatre (where they were showing the films for the festival) one morning and there were two adolescent elk feeding all of about 20 yards away!!!!! Got a bad camera phone shot of them. Anyway, we went up to the top of one of the mountains on a gondola one day and while we were up there a bald eagle went flying overhead. Then when we got back to the Centre there were three Mule Deer does eating on the side of the hill right next to our building. Finally, as we were leaving on Monday morning, there was a huge herd of elk, at least 70 strong, on the side of the road in a field. All in all, it was just a beautiful experience. I want to go back for a real vacation that I'm not spending most of the day in a theatre watching movies. Oh, and I didn't do the run. Ankle is still pretty sore and big and thought it wasn't worth risking more damage for just a fun race that I had no emotional stock in. |
