So we packed up and decided to drive through southern BC and Alberta. We will be coming back north via Edmonton. So far, we have driven up through Grande Cache and Hinton, then Jasper, and over to Revelstoke, continuing down through Vernon, Kelowna, Lake Country, Summerland, and Penticton, then down through Creston, and back over into Alberta to Fort Macleod and a tour of Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, and finally through Kananaskis to Calgary. We have been very lucky with just a few rain showers along the way, although it looks like there could be a mean thunderstorm in Calgary tonight.
Now I am not a water person, but I really liked driving through the lake country. And also seeing all the wineries that have cropped up. (Pun intended.) It's really amazing to see how the wineries have become as popular as the fruit orchards. My favourite place this trip has been Creston, B.C. and area. There's something about the combination of farmland and forest that I like. I took some pics but have not downloaded them yet.
Tomorrow we're hoping to take in the Heritage Village, and the zoo, and the Glenbow Museum. Then onward to Edmonton. Maybe it will be time for a couple of movies. Perhaps a stroll down Whyte Ave the day after tomorrow. I wonder if that little second-hand bookstore over at the Hub Mall is still around. After that, it will be time to go home for a while.
