Day 9 - Thur.Aug 12

1. Woke Up
2. Said Goodbye to Jano & Sonia. Left Noah's Ark. (These are the owners of the campground. They are amazing people and they are like family to us now.) This is one of their dogs. Her name is Chinook. On this trip, Jada's 'big puppy' finally got a name too. She is now Chinook as well.
3. Driving to 3 Valley Gap to eat breakfast.
4. Driving on the road. (That is a good thing. I wouldnt have wanted to drive on the water).

Hey! Trevor and I have been on that ferry and on that beach! Our choir from CBC went to Nakusp when we were engaged and so we were on that ferry with our big tour bus. (Trevor and I went to the front of the ferry and pretended to do the scene from the Titanic.. it was pretty funny at the time...11 years ago, anyway).
ANYWAY, I can't believe you went there too! Its beautiful, isn't it! I can't wait to read more! :)
