Remembrance Day in Banff

posted in: Canada, Travel 3
We made it down town in time for the Remembrance Day Parade
These boys looked especially lovely against the mountain back ground.

The cold has turned into bronchitis. Still hopeful I can fight it without antibiotics. I feel OK for most of the day. I crash in late afternoon and evening. Thus no ghost hunting trip at the Banff Springs as of yet.
The hotel room suite has become a very cozy home away from home (with 3 large mountain view windows and a fireplace).
Spending our time walking into town and swimming at the hotel. Went for supper in town last night at the Spaghetti Factory. The line up and wait was insane! I don’t know if it was worth it either as I liken the Spaghetti Factory to MacDonalds. However, the kids always enjoy it and the meal was fine.
Want to find a quiet, elegant spot in the hotel to read and take my tea. I may attempt such a feat however, the girls will have to be back in the room watching television otherwise they’ll never allow me to simply sit and read! Perhaps if I buy Pip a book downtown today we can accomplish this–the big girls brought books I believe. If only I wasn’t ill with bronchitis–it makes it impossible to enjoy my evenings here as I feel very sick then and must retire to bed by nine 🙁
*just put myself on my travel Cipro from Asia (I have 3 days worth). I am coughing up bad stuff from my lungs. I NEVER get a head cold. It always skips my nose and heads right for my lungs and I get an infection :(!!!

    You can have tea in the Rundle Lounge – you don’t have to eat! I find it the nicest spot in the hotel to relax, especially if you snag a spot at the windows on the 2nd floor. Thanks for the birthday wishes. Hope you feel better soon.
