One Hot Summer etc

On Thursday I volunteered at this event called One Hot Summer, which was aimed at 18-35s working in Banff. The weather was pretty bad though. I'm told that June is the worst month, but the sun is meant to appear in July and August. They had tents up at the rec grounds with stands from different organizations and companies. Most of them were giving away free stuff (cookies, pens, chap sticks etc). Anyway, my job was to sit in the welcome tent. It wasn't very exciting but I met a lot of folk and there was a volunteers party that evening with free food and drink. I won $25 sushi voucher to spend at a place in town that has a sushi train.

Yesterday there was a massive wedding at Lake Louise (which has a big hotel at one end, a glacier at the other and is green). It was an amazingly rich guy who didn't seem too keen on getting his photo done.

Today I went to this "Back to Banff Day" at a museum and helped out at some tables with kids building stuff. I'd signed up for it at One Hot Summer.

This is me, and Laura (who works up at the Gondola - we keep bumping into each other, especially at pasta night) and Yumiko (who I met at One Hot Summer and also frequents pasta night). We didn't make the tower.

Anyway, I'm going out to play frisbee tonight. If it doesn't start to pour...
