Once again we have a new home base. New area, new town, new province, new view!
After 2 weeks of travelling across the U.S. we pulled into the Island View RV Resort in Osoyoos, BC. This park is seven tiers of RVs, either looking out over Lake Osoyoos or looking at the vineyard above us. We have set up and settled in for 3 weeks of sightseeing, wine tasting and what we do best,"rest and relaxation".
We have mountains to the north, east and west of us and the US border just 5 km. to the south.
This semi-arid desert is ideal for growing grapes and a variety of fruits and vegetables.The rolling terraces, intense sunlight and gravelly soil produce award winning wines. We are too early to taste the fruit and vegetables but this week happens to be Wine Festival Week. We have taken advantage of visiting and tasting several of the local wines.
I have some new ones for my sisters to try when we get together in another 3 weeks.
On today's wandering we came upon a wierd phenomenon. A spotted lake! The native Indians of this area call it a medicinal lake. Apparently, the minerals within the water cause the "spots".
I can't seem to get my pictures co-ordinated with the blog today. Sorry!
