May 28

Weather not so great today, but didn't keep this gang from doing things.  Went and walked around the Fairmont Hotel in Banff to see how the 1% live.

Architecturally, the hotel is magnificent.

Built by the Canadian Pacific Railroad

Hotel's main lobby

Notice the stonework and archways

Loved the period light fixtures


We then drove back to town to have lunch at Wild Bill's and go to the Banff museum.

Now we are all using wifi at our favorite spot Rose and Crown bar and grill.  Sure these folks will be glad to see us leave town.

Tomorrow, we head out to the IceFields and Jasper where we will stay for a few more days.  Even with the weather being coolish and mostly cloudy, the mountains are still magnificent.
A rainy start to the day in our Banff campground.

Rain down below but snow falling on the mountain tops!
 

Getting ready to enter into our next adventure.
