Beautiful British Columbia

Our drive from Big Valley to Gayle's house was absolutely beautiful. There were gorgeous mountains, lakes that were insane colours (green, blue, purple). The roads were in the mountains and very windy.

We got to Gayle's house and met her new Korean students. They didn't know a word of English and they kept bowing for everything. They kept staring at me, and Gayle says it's because they don't see blonde hair in Korea and it looks very strange to them.

This morning, Gayle took us to some local hotspots for natural beauty. We saw Kal lake, a crystal hotel owned by Mr. Swarovski. Really, the only way to explain these places is to show pictures, which I haven't put on the computer yet, so you will see those later.

Andre unfortunately has developed a cold and is feeling a bit under the weather. As usual, he's been a great sport. But, here I am, typing on my computer and listening to an audiobook in the Oakanagan sun, I can smell the sweetness from the apricot trees and have a great view over the mountains. This place is great!

Tonight we're going to check out a resort that is popular for skiing. Gayle likes to take her exchange students there. I'm not sure if they will understand what is going on, but we will see.

Pictures to come!
