Today, I worked 11 hours at the Inns of Banff. In between my shifts, I walked to the post office to mail a $5600 fur coat to Everette, Washington, in the States.
It's Aussie Day---a day that seems to revolve heavily around vegemite and meat pies. Oh, and lots and lots of drinking, of course. But then, every day is a drinking day if you're an Aussie.
