banff day 2

I hooked up with my roomie for the conference, and as we drove into the hotel, there's that statue of a portley man pointing. Her comment was, "What is this, North Korea?!" I couldn't help but giggle. :P

I found myself as the shift lead, as the person originally assigned was stuck somewhere between Banff and Vancouver. Pretty uneventful, but lots of fun in talking with academics from all over the world, watching videos and such on laptops and just finding out about everyone's impressions of Banff (touristy but very cool).

This evening I was feeling pretty tired so I went to this delightful restaurant called Pad Thai. I just had a simple coconut soup and a bowl of rice, and it was very authentic. And then, I just went to sleep at the hotel. Yes. My life is so very exciting.
