Days 40-43: Nipika

---

The following morning after arriving in Calgary, we had breakfast with our friend Mike then headed out West to Nipika, a small mountain resort outside of Banff. Jane's sister, Kate, was getting married there and both families were to stay in the cabins on site. It was a truly beautiful place where you felt surrounded by the mountains and nature. I met lots of new people, including the rest of Jane's family and the significant others (we were tight). The wedding itself was also beautiful, accentuated even more by the scenery. This part of the trip was really nice, since we were able to spend more than one night in a place for a change and there was no driving involved.
