Moos But No Moose

The first stop on this beautiful sunny day was the town of Banff in Banff National Park.  We found just the place we were looking for--COWS!  Cows sells the best ice cream in the world (according to Tauck World Travel).  We indulged in two scoops of "Wowie Cowie," a divine combination of vanilla ice cream, caramel, English toffee and chocolate.  Yum!

Staying in Prince George, B.C., tonight.  Tomorrow, the REAL journey begins.
