We're layering up for a drive to Banff, where we are hoping to do a day hike and then head back to Calgary tonight. I can't wait to finally see the Rocky Mountains we've been hearing so much about!
Unfortunately, it sounds like it will be tricky to take Bosco hiking because of all the wild animals. We've learned that people often wear "Bear Bells" to scare off the bears (they don't like noise), but this can attract the attention of cougars, which generally don't attack humans but will go after smaller animals.
Yesterday was not quite as adventurous - we spent the afternoon at Ikea to do some apartment brainstorming. We only made it out there after a scare during which we could not find the car keys ANYWHERE! We tore the hotel suite apart, searched all of our bags, and then spent 15 minutes trying to break into our own car with a hanger through a cracked window. Not having used the car in two days, we also discoved that an interior light had been left on, making matters that much worse.
Shamefully, the keys were in the bottom of my giant purse the entire time, and I came running out with them just in time to find Ben explaining the situation to a skeptical security guard. There is never a dull moment with us! Against all reason, the car battery wasn't dead and we were able to truck on out to the suburbs for furniture shopping.
