Kaslo more than meets the eye

There are so many raspberries at Leah and Jordie’s place, I started the day picking them so I could put them on my muesli. 

Leah, Norm’s niece and Norm in the new exciting kitchen, love the tiles.  They moved in just one month ago and already it looks so homey and welcoming. 

The bathroom 

Even the guest room we slept in was cozy. Jordie built the bed frame 3 days ago. Hey just in time for us! 

They have lots of outdoor space with flower beds, strawberries, raspberries, vegetables and more. 

A cute first time home for them with lots of room to fix up both the upstairs and basement......one day. 

Leah took us on a trail tour to downtown Kaslo. There are many waking and mountain bike trails some along the Kaslo River. 

Beside the river.

Before Covid, Kaslo had a sports day with axe throwing, pole climbing and log rolling. Maybe next year. 



Into town for coffee and ice cream

Right near the lake, so beautiful. 

More walking to the river trail and covered bridge. You’d almost think you were in Switzerland! 


A bridge close up- perfect. 

Once home, time to cool off, have lunch and relax before heading off to the Langham Theatre Museum and Art Gallery. Built in 1893. It once housed the Japanese during WWII. 


Fascinating information on the internment camps. Such an awful part of our history. 

Now to cool off in the lake. Ahhhhhhh so hot here.

Check this out - man, dog and a paddle board. 

Must be time for dinner. Leah says Serge’s has the best fries in town. Without a doubt! Burgers too



It seems only right that we should finish the day with another ice cream. So we did, trust me, no photos this time. 
Tomorrow - Salmon Arm- more Gidneys.

  4. Good on you two — getting away when even the simple act of going somewhere is an adventure.
