Ty and Carla's Wedding in Banff ~ The Legacy of Coca-Cola

We spent a lovely weekend in Banff where we went to Tyler and Carla's wedding. The wedding was beautiful. The ceremony was at St. George in the Pines Church - a small old stone chapel likely bult in the 1800s. It was very cool indeed. The reception was at the Juniper. This was a run-down old hotel first built in the 60s that recently got a massive face lift. They did a great job bringing it up to date. We'd definitely stay there again. You should have seen the view from the restaurant. It was end to end floor to ceiling windows which opened up to a terrace that looked out across the valley and the surrounding mountains. It was a great spot and Ty and Carla know how to throw a party keeping the dance floor "bumping with classics" like Maestro Fres-Wes, N'Sync and some vintage Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation.



The next day we went on a great hike on the Cave and Basin trail.


On the side of the trail we found an old rusty 280 mL Coke can from the 70s. It was strange to imagine how at the time it was thrown away, littering was almost publically accepted. But even more stange to think about was how this can had survived out there, in prestine wilderness, and a National Park, with no one picking it up???
