Today we headed off to our road trip to the Canadian Rockies. Left the house at 7:00 am and headed to Chinatown to get picked up by the tour bus. Here are the places we will be passing today: Hope, Merritt, Kelowna, Vernon, Sicamus and Revelstoke. Most of these are little towns. Our first site was Okanagan. We saw Okanagan Lake. It is very huge. The Scenery is really beautiful. The lakes reflect the mountains and the sky. Oh! It's so beautiful :) Kelowna was the place where the Ogopogo sea monster was rumored to have been spotted. Ogopogo is a lake monster that lives in Lake Okanagan. Kelowna is also famous for it's fruit orchards. The really hot summer and really cold winters is what produces the good tasting fruits. Later we went to Calona vineyeards. If you are 19 years or older, you could participate in the wine testing. There was the famous Ice Wines. Then we went to a fruit market on the side of the road ang bought fresh fruits. After that we went to Planet Bee and bought honey. Our last stop was to see the Last Spike. The Canadian Pacific Railway is like the transcontinental railway. It connects Canada from the east coast to the west coast.
