A Real, Live Bear!!!

So, as you can see, Caspian found his blog voice again. This is good for you because he's a more practiced writer than I, however, this means he's hogging the computer while I have to write postcards, by hand and then send them without addresses.
Anyway, we have been in Banff for a couple of days camping. The mosquitoes again chased us out of camp but to spite them, we got a room at a B & B. I don't even remember what it's called, but it's super nice, cheap and we can take showers without flip flops and mosquitoes. It's so nice, in fact that we're staying an extra day. If not for this, we'd probably never camp again, which is bad for us because we like camping (it's cheap) and we're still about 1000 miles or more from home (exact location, TBA).
I can't describe to you how amazingly beautiful it is here. We have seen so much wildlife including elk, coyotes, pika, big horn sheep, and yes, even a bear. Proof is in the picture - that I took.
We've been on two amazing hikes, a very hilly bike ride (we kicked ass, but no, I don't think we're ready for the Crater Lake challenge. Sorry guys.) and swam in the most breathtakingly beautiful lakes. And yes, even guzzled a pitcher of microbrew from a rooftop bar.
