We took our friend Sally on a mini-vacation this long weekend, up to the Okanagan Valley, B.C.’s wine country, distinguished also by beaches, outdoor fun, beautiful mountainside views, and generally nature. Here are some tourist tips and a first photographic fruit.

Perhaps I’ll post some of that nature stuff when I get around to unloading the big camera; but the picture is pretty and the restaurant is very good, better than the Vancouver Indian-food average, which is a strong statement.

While we’re doing tourist tips, here’s a plug for A Grand View B&B where we stayed, very nice and family-friendly.

Oh yes, we cruised home with 50-odd bottles of wine stuffed into the back of the car; now if the clouds of the worst Vancouver summer in my memory ever left, we’ll have something to drink on the back porch.
