Thank you for the recommendations - we had a BLAST!

I need to know why NO ONE told me about the GLORY that is Bulk Barn, next door to Wine & Beyond. Holy cow!!!! I could live in that store!!! Thank goodness we ate before going in and I only came out with three bags of stuff ;-)

(yes, in the US, we have some bulk items available - mainly in health food stores & co-ops - but nowhere I've lived has an entire store with EVERYTHING bulk like that!!!)

Yeah, yeah, Lake Louise & Banff were gorgeous, weather was perfect for skiing, fireplaces & drinks, and the ice and snow sculptures were freaking amazing.
