Beautiful Bow Falls in Banff, Alberta, Canada

We saw a lot of this when we were walking along the falls. The park is being replanted to fix the paths along the falls. The colours used in the above picture remind me of the holiday season, the weather definitely suggest that the holidays are around the corner.

It was snowing on our way into Banff, most of it was melted when we went for our walk, but we found this adorable little snowman waiting to greet us along the path.

Wayne and I went to Banff this weekend and it was so beautiful to leave the city after studying for a week. We walked around the park, had some yummy pizza at Athena's Pizza, and then had fondue at the Grizzly House - my first time there. The Grizzly House is a little different than the rest of the restaurants that you'll find in Banff, it use to be a "disco" and there are phones at every table so you can call the other guest, super playful atmosphere. We had the cheese fondue to start and instead of the oil fondue, we decided to have our meats (beef, buffalo, elk, venison, and wild boar) cooked on hot rock. The hot rock is a slab of rock that has been heated to 650 degrees and then you smear some butter on top and you are ready to grill! It was very yummy but we made the mistake of bringing our jackets into the restaurant...they have the lovely smell of meat and oil now.

When we got back into Calgary, we had brunch at Nellie's in Kensington, so yummy. I love breakfast food. Went to Pink Sugar next door, they have the most beautiful black dress...leather skirt, jersey top with cap sleeves and on the shoulder, it had the cutest quilted leather detail. Super hot, can remember the designer but I might have to go back to try it on...

Alberta Fashion Week starts tomorrow! Hope to see you there.
