Our Sunday started off with mass at St. Mary's in Banff. The priest asked visitors to say where they were from, and the couple behind us was from St. Mary's in Fairfax, VA! That was really cool meeting someone from our old parish, so we spent some time talking with them after mass. Never did catch their names, though. Hmmm.....
After mass, we stopped off at Cave and Basin, the birthplace of Canada's national park system. This is inside the cave, where there's a hot spring. You're not allowed to touch the water, in order to keep the habitat safe for the snails. It also smells a lot of sulphur, so after snapping the picture, we were happy to get back out of the cave. Outside you can catch a better view of the snails in the hot spring, and there's a special area for touching the water that doesn't flow the water back into the spring. I do so love a hot spring!
We didn't do much in Calgary. But as we were driving around, I spotted this sign. Teen burger? I can't imagine a teen tastes that good... We got to see (from the road) the Olympic park, but we had a hard time finding parking in the actual city, so we did some sight seeing from the road. We hit some grocery stores and then headed back to Banff.
