Tuesday, July 23rd

It’s been an interesting day!  It was 48 degrees when we left the hotel this morning at 7:15!  We went to breakfast at the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Center.  After breakfast, one of the guides was playing a drum skin and had us all dancing!  She took us through parts of the center to show and explain some of the Squamish culture and dress
.
Then we had a beautiful ride and nature contrasts…lush sub-alpine forests and semi-arid terrains. 



And, now we are settled in the beautiful Sun Peaks Grand Resort!  We were only supposed to be here for 1 night, but because of the fires and evacuation of Jasper, we will be here 2 nights.  We're not sure after that, but we do know that we won’t be going to Jasper.  We understand that there were busloads of people evacuated at 1:00 this morning and they were on the road 11 hours.


It is 9:00 pm and 61 degrees!

What a day!  We started today by taking a gondola ride to the top of Sulphur Mountain and having breakfast there.  It was a great breakfast ...
