Day 5: Rest Day in Westbank

I’m sure these posts are arriving just as you were about to pick up the phone and get a search party out to comb the Coquihalla for us. Wonder of wonders, you can put the phone down and rest easy. We arrived safely and soundly in Kelowna (well, Westbank) last night around 8pm to be warmly welcomed by Aunt Marion and Uncle Roy. Marion had even cooked up a delicious vegetarian lasagna for us (recipe courtesy of my darling sister Kathleen), not to mention Caroline’s favorite peanut-butter-marshmallow square dessert. After two rather strenuous days, a home-cooked meal and a warm bed were heartily appreciated.

But I suppose I should start from the start – this being the first proper post from the road. Since this post would have been ridiculously long otherwise, I’ve split things up to make things more manageable for you, the reader (how thoughtful am I?). Don’t feel you have to read them all today. Or read them at all, for that matter. Day 1 is at the bottom.
