Up

My BFF Angie: "Can we go for a hike?"

Me: "Sure!"

(Above: St. Marks Summit on the Howe Sound Trail)

Angie: "Can it be a long one?"

Me: "Sure."

Angie: "Is seven hours too long?"

Almost. But the views made up for it.

Grapes and Sun

Just got back from our 2nd annual trip to BC's Okanagan. Perfect small town BC getaway: fabulous scenery, local wine, lots of Dairy Queen.

(how had I never had a Peanut Buster Bar? I digress.)

Above, Road 13. They have a castle!

The view from the lake at La Frenz (used to be the Canadian $100 bill!).

One Malbec for the wine rack.

Seared Albacore Tuna Salad at Hillside Estate.

Also had some Cabernet Franc, my new favourite wine.

The lake from Soaring Eagle.

Didn't check my email for 3 whole days. Didn't get burned. Perfection!
