right now we are in a mountain town that is full of vacationing tourists and locals with their condo places..outside of banff, alberta. At the foot of Rocky Mountains.

It continues to amaze me that even in an outdoorsy like town (and we've been to several all over british columbia too), how carefully some women dress nicely for a dinner at cafe or restaurant. (Maybe I've been too long with my partner. He's more impressed that I remain healthy instead of being overly dressed up or with alot of make-up... )

For any cycling or snowshoeing trip out of town, we just don't bother to take dressier clothing along. I have stopped bringing along a skirt, sundress or dress pants for any vacation trip anywhere in North America or Europe for past 18 yrs. or so.

I guess I'm just lazy. I just can't be bothered to haul around more weight for a piece of clothing I would only wear for a few hrs. once during a trip.
