Congratulations to TLB for correctly guessing "Golden" BC as our location yesterday!! And thank-you to the other folks who commented as well. Eden is only 2 and already she's on the web talking to Nanny and Bampie--can you believe it??
This morning we are heading out for a walk-about around the neighbourhood. Oh yes, the clue for today's location is: This is the oldest city in BC, rich in history and culture. Of course that clue may be too easy but that's okay--I'll give you a little break today.
I will tell you that the mountain drive yesterday was beyond even my wildest expectations in terms of the WOW factor! On a scale of 10, the views scored 1000!!! Some of those curves made me queasy and I can't even begin to imagine what it's like here in winter, in a big rig, manuevering those steep cliff-side hills, reading the signs along the highway that say, "Danger, avalanche area". Even in May there are still plenty of areas where that could still happen--snow is still deep in the higher ranges.
But I believe one of the best sights I saw today, was when we came around a street-corner, on our way to our final destination for the day, and saw my neice standing there. She was waiting for our arrival, after we had called several times to say, "We're only 3 hours out--we're now only 40 minutes out". We took a wrong turn--okay, I took a wrong turn, and ended up going over a bridge that was not on the directions but since Arend was reading the "map" to me, I can blame him right?
It really doesn't matter, cause when we got out of the car and hugged Meg, all the frustrations of getting mixed up dissapeared. We did have to take our greetings inside eventually, to save Meg from total embarrassement. What a bonus ending to a phenomenal day--to hug "family" so far away from home. I wish we could do that every day on the trip.
I must go and catch up on their news now--till the next time, Barb
