The Backpacker Returns

Ahhhhhhh . . . . .

So a whirlwind week of excitement has come to an end for the Bearded Backpacker. Mon parents have come and gone and along the way there were a number of adventures. This week I will share these journeys with you the only way I know how. Chronologically. So my parents arrived here in the New West on July 22nd. It was a lovely Saturday here in Alberta and of course we needed to take advantage of the nice weather by making a short trip to Ikea, I think . . . that was a week ago and I’m not much for note taking.


Anyway after that we decided to take a drive out to Banff, Alberta to check out the rocky mountain resort town. There are lot of shops and touristy things in that town and of course great architecture and rocky mountain vistas. It was a tiring day though with myself and my folks deciding sleep was not necessary the night before, what with them getting an early flight and me unable to sleep because of the excitement of their visit. Anyway it was all in all a great start to the visit and things would only get better as the week went on.
