Revelstoke

We spent yesterday In Revelstoke, closer to the Rockies and on Route 1 across Canada. Lynda and Coleman were our drivers. The weather was wonderful, sunshine all morning. After coffee at Tim Hortons with president Gail and Pam from the RC, they took us to the Railway museum, which was really interesting and we watched many very long freight trains go past during the day. After lunch on the balcony looking at the mountains, we went to the Revelstoke Dam, one of 3 on the Columbia river in BC, there are 11 more in the US on this river. We had a private tour as the visitor's centre was closed officially. We then went to the Great Cedars boardwalk and the Skunk Cabbage boardwalk. The team got their first biochemistry lesson on Skunk Cabbage, fortunately the cabbages were not very smelly when we visited. After a short stroll around the very pretty town, we joined the RC of Revelstoke and their families for a 5th Thursday event in the United Church. Steven their CFO (chief fun officer) had organised the meeting and we were all made very welcome. The church members had cooked turkey and beef and the food was excellent. There was a Beatles quiz, and a presentation from their exchange student from Thailand and a lovely friendly atmosphere.
