by Rosalind Gardner on August 11, 2007

in My Travels

When checking into the Banff Park Lodge, I specifically asked the girl at the front desk in which direction the room faced. She pointed to the west. Being somewhat claustrophobic and knowing that the west-facing rooms had unobstructed views, I was relieved. I knew she had misled us however as we toted our baggage southwards [...]
