Thursday September 2: Nelson BC meeting Somerset

 

 Today was the day we met Somerset! But first, we left Hope after a terrific pancake breakfast. Larry described Hope as a little town stuck in 1958. So true. 

 

 We stopped at the site of the Hope slide, a disaster that happened in 1965. After a lovely "range" of mountain scenery we took a bit of a detour into the Okanagan Valley and visited an interesting winery near Okanagan Falls. We found that there have been no falls there since the early 1900s when thy were dammed. [ we found a very interesting Winery ( Hawthorn ) with a tour guide who loved to talk of the history of the Okanagan. Bought 4 bottles from the winery for Somerset. ] We stopped at Castlegar [ to get a Canadian Tire fix ] and then reached Nicole and Chris's around 5pm.We both got in some great snuggle time with Somer and enjoyed watching the opening of the many gifts we brought with us.
