Greetings from Nazko valley, central British Columbia! Our visit up here to see Leah and Eppo has been relaxing, full of delicious food, outdoor activities and gorgeous scenery. True to its reputation, this valley is full of crystal clear rivers and lakes, vast green forests and impressive hillsides. Despite being a family visit, we've seen bears, moose, owls, deer, geese (the real Canadian kind!), loon, and a beaver (I think). Days were filled with dozing, grazing (local beef! smoked fish! salmon from Vancouver island! maple & walnut ice cream! homemade cakes of all denominations!), canoeing, fly fishing (OK, so we just watched, but we get points for waking up at 7 and braving the wind), long walks, coffee/hot chocolate/tea (i.e., hot beverages), firewood gathering, visits to neighbors' farms (finally, I understand eggs), lengthy sessions of cult HBO series, and a teensy bit of Scrabble. Generally, pretty sweet. Thanks for having us!Click here to view all of my photos from Nazko.
