Winter Wonderland ~ Canmore/Banff, Canada
A cozy little village called Banff, a short drive from Calgary, with its sweet smelling cafés (Eveylyn's Coffee Bars) and bakeries (Wild Flour Bakery),
is the perfect remedy for an overcharged schedule, an exhausting semester and a craving for the Christmas spirit (two years overseas for the month of December will make you long for Christmas Carols like you'd never expect).
Where else can you sneak into a Castle, find a secret room with a fire place, and savor a glass of wine while overlooking the white wilderness that is the Rocky Mountain Range? (Seriously, if you know please comment below.)
The only thing better than living so close to Banff, is having family (some of whom just so happen to be fellow bloggers Michael and Kyle) in Canmore, which I consider to be Banff's older/wiser (but in no way less fun) sister, speckled with rustic restaurants like the trendy Rocky Mountain Bagel Co and the smoky Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co.
