Osoyoos

It's Monday afternoon and I just walked 4km to find internet access. Once again I am listening to the hum of a Laundromat dryer and it is making me sleepy. My typing is getting faster as my hands start to thaw...It's below freezing here and the icy wind is sneaky, poking it's fingers into the smallest openings in my clothes.

My new van is a treat to drive through the mountains. V8 engine and 4 on the floor standard lets me truck up the steepest slopes and pass with ease. The gas mileage is great too. The heater leaves something to be desired. Bundled up in my puffy down jacket, hat, gloves and a blanket I was still stiff as a board when I reached Osoyoos. The owner of the hotel used to be a mechanic and is going to take a look at it for me today....Hence the 4km walk.

Played for 5 hours yesterday with out any vocal strain. Being on the road I have definitely honed my 'chops'. Lots of fun playing in the pub. An enjoyable day from beginning to end. Played several games of pool and won more times than not (Thanks Raistlin and LJ, playing on a bar table now is easy!). Tomorrow I am off to Kelowna to play at the Grateful Fed Restaurant.
