Heading Home

We had a lovely dinner with Chuck and Karen and the two girls Sunday night.
Headed home Monday and stopped an hour down the highway in Merritt in the Nicola Valley for coffee.

This city is called the Country Music Capital of Canada and used to have the Merritt Mountain Music Festival every year. They have a`Walk of Fame` which consists of many murals painted around town.
They also have  stations dedicated to specific artists  like this one of glen Campbell.

The Coldwater Hotel, located in the heart of Merritt, was constructed in 1908 and its copper covered cupola is a Merritt landmark. The hotel is still in operations with a restaurant, pub and banquet facilities.

 You could clearly see the 8`snow pack on top of the mountain coming down towards Hope.

We stopped at the Gold Rush Pub for a late lunch. They had a beer bottle carved out of wood there.

 Got home about 3:30 after a nice trip.
