Funky town - Nelson

Sadly we are in the home stretch. Today was spent travelling from Radium Hot Springs to a little place called Winlaw just outside Nelson. We are staying with friends of Bev's, Norma and Helen, who live in a log house. It has recently gone uuder some reno's in the kitchen and bathroom and it is so wonderful done by a very talented craftsman. These folks are very hospitable and make you feel right at home, thank you for opening your house to us.

Bev spent an hour and a bit in the hot springs in Fairmont. We travelled thru Cranbrook, Creston and other small places on todays journey, we took to scenic route from Creston to Nelson and took the ferry across Kootenay Lake. On the ferry ride there was a very cute older couple who were obviously head over heels in love. She looked as if she has Parkinson Disease and it may have been there final journey together, it was a very heart warming yet sad sight to witness.

I will sign off early tonight as I am using the host's computer... will write more tomorrow...

You should have taken a turn up the hill to the Ainsworth Hotsprings. Thats one of the ones Heidi and I visited. Im glad to hear you guys are having a good time. Nothing like burning 50 tanks of gas for some good scenery and good memories :)

Kinda reminds me of the trips to Likely and Sulphurous
