June 19 - Salmon Arm BC

June 19 – Salmon Arm BC

Yesterday, I called Eric Halland, and they were heading into Salmon Arm, so they visited us.  We had a  nice visit with Eric and Judy.  During our visit, we had a torrential downpour, I asked Eric if the windows on his car were up, and he said yup “I think so”.  After the visit, I went outside with them to say “goodbye” only to have Eric find that his windows were most of the way up, but oops, his sunroof was open  - LOL.

We are having a good time with our friends, even though the parents work and the kids still have to  go to school.  We play Wii with the kids,  and of course Vadie enjoys taking the girls shopping.  

Tim and Colleen have a beautiful view overlooking the valley and Shuswap Lake.

Here is a pic of all of us in front of the bus.

This evening we went down to the wharf area, and walked along the trail.  Just as it is in the north, the lake water level is very high.  The ramp to get onto the boat dock is an uphill climb.  

Again, it is time to move on to the next destination.  We will be travelling from Salmon Arm BC to Lethbridge  Ab, using Hwy 1, then turning south on Hwy 22 in Alberta, turning east onto Hwy 3 to Lethbridge. 

During the next three days we will probably not have internet connection, but Vadie will be checking email using the phone. Being here in Canada, we have places we do not have internet or cell phone service.
