Went on a small trip to Banff with my wife to celebrate our wedding anniversary, thought I would share some pics.
Could I please ask my Australian F.P. friends, is their some sort of work or student exchange program set up with any organization in Australia, because I met a large number of Australian's in the retail, or restaurant sector of Banff.
Had a very nice time with a few in the restaurant, bar I visited a few times while I was there, these guys said they were on work visa exchange program. Just a super bunch of guys and girls.
Ok they aren’t the best pics but I am still learning.

Ya angeleel, I met at least 10 Australian people in 4 days.
Partied with quite a few, A young girl named Denise served us in the restaurant at the hotel we stayed at, and joined us for drinks at the bar with a few of her friends after her work shift was over, we ended up closing the bar and trying to navigate back to our room at around 3:00 a.m. :%) :%)
Oh and it was our 31st anniversary, thanks so much for asking.
Tom.

There are quite a few companies that set young aussies up with temp working visas in the US. We are big on the 'working holiday' way of travelling over here

I've seen a lot of ads up recently advertising positions available for camp counsellors, that seems to be becoming a popular way to get out to see the world... well, america.. well, a camp in america anyway.

I hope the 3am finish means that you had a ripper of a time

Congrats on all those years!

Hi Babel
Cathy is 4'10" tall 94lbs just a tiny thing, but you are right those are some huge wheels.
Don't you think she looks terrified in the picture in the gondola car, I had to do a lot of persuading to get her to go up.
It is a beautiful place. We love to visit Banff, and we only live a couple of hours away so we do go on a regular basis
Still waiting to see my first bear in the wild, have seen everything else, but so far no bears.
And thank you so much, yes 31 years most of them very good.
And yes Calla, we had a real ripper of a time, just a great bunch of guy's and gals.

Tom.
