I’m starting to discover that when people said it rains in
June, they actually ment it rains every single hour of every single day. The
only time the rain lets up is when it snows or hails. I only get 2 days off per week where I work
and the weather has been miserable every time I plan to do something on my days
off. So I haven’t been to Lake Louise yet, or Jasper, or the Ice Fields.
A few weeks ago the hotel played host to the Banff
International Media Festival. This was the busiest I have ever seen the lounge
ever! One of my managers commented on it saying this is the busiest he has ever
seen a restaurant in his entire career. There were a lot of celebrities
wondering around the hotel during the week and it was pretty cool to see them.
Today a friend and I decided to try our hand at canoeing
because it was supposed to be a nicer day. We got our canoe passes from the
staff housing office (which is free for employees). The rain started as soon as we got into our
canoe and after awhile we thought the rain was letting up it started to hail.
After around 5 min of the hail the sky cleared up and the sun started to shine
(for the first time in a long time). It was a great way to spend the afternoon
and we managed to get some great pictures!
