May 30 - Another year rolls round

Enjoyed my birthday on a long weekend in Banff, with tickets for Ballet Jazz de Montreal (fantastic) and jazz festival wind up - loud!!! Camping in Banff for the first time in our new chateau on wheels was great. Must have had a good time as we broke the bed and ran out of wine. A nice afternoon Sunday, sitting on their deck by the river with Bob/Pat Allin, buds from our wine club. In future, we can park overnight in their huge lot, which will be very handy if we don't want to camp at Tunnel Mountain. Saturday a soak in the Banff Hot Springs. Getting the hang of driving an RV with all the technical stuff you have to learn about. Birthday dinner at the gorgeous little Ravens restaurant at the Banff Centre, surrounded by glass looking over Banff townsite and Banff Springs Hotel. Life is good!
