The Canadian – Day Three
This picture is a last view of the prairies on day two, and gives you a good idea of why they call this part of the world “big sky”. We stopped in Winnipeg about 2:30 AM and by the time … Continue reading
The Canadian – Day 2 Continued
We spent the day traveling across the Canadian prairie. I grew up in this area, so it was nice to see it again from the train. This picture is fairly typical of what I remember from my childhood. The small … Continue reading
The Canadian – Day 2

A Walk Along the River
We were back in Vancouver again and went for a long walk along the river in a local park. It is one of the things we always do when we visit. The leaves are coming out and the trees are … Continue reading
Summerland
After a day of wine tasting yesterday, we decided it would be appropriate to enjoy the hiking trails in the Okanagan, so we headed over to the Giant’s Head Mountain Park. There are a number of well marked trails in … Continue reading
