Banff is a College kids dream come true. There is a pub or bar every other store front. I mean, I get it, it is a tourist town and after a long day of skiing you want a cold one, but I just get too much of that feeling.

I do love the feel of the town and of course the mountains around the town but it seems like it is too much about the booze. It is probably just mean, because I don’t drink and don’t have any intentions of doing so.

Anyways, I didn’t have to stop into Banff, but was in dire need of a bathroom and some food. I pulled into the busy town and finally found a place to park. Maybe that is why I like Jasper better than Banff, I know my way around better. Anyway, I walked up the main drag taking it all in. Like always there were people from all around the world, from Scotland and England to Japan and Brazil.

One things I really like about Banff and possible Jasper, is how even the lower end restuarants look fancy. Like the McDonald’s in the picture. It just look nicer. Same with the Boston Pizza I had lunch in. Very mountainy looking with log supports throughout.

Like I mentioned I didn’t stay in Banff long, just long enough to grab lunch and have a quick look around. I’m currently on highway A1 on the side of the road writing this. I must get back on the road now though, so here are some picture.

Thoughts?
