April 20 - Lower Okanagan, BC

The following two pictures are a follow-up to my walks in the lower Okanagan Valley.

Picture 1

This picture shows Al, myself and Mary on the promenade by the lake in Kelowna.  After the picture, there are also two links to articles about the Kelowna walks written by J. P. Squire of the Daily Courier.

Picture 2

This picture shows Sue, Pinta and myself in a coffee shop after our walk in Osoyoos.  Meeting with people after my walks is an important part of my journey.  On this particular day, Sue and I had lots to talk about.  On one section of the walk, we had switched guides.  I held the harness for Pinta and Sue used my cane.  Although I didn’t feel very comfortable with Pinta as my guide—I think she knew that I wasn’t her regular owner—Sue felt quite secure using my mobility cane.

I am looking forward to walking in Calgary tomorrow.  We’ll meet outside the Good Earth coffee shop and probably finish up by meeting inside the same place over coffee when the walk is over.
