A real day off. No biking whatsoever. Slept in, didn't have to pack, very nice. Today simply involved touring Nelson with our fabulous tour guide Lindsay. Nelson is gorgeous with immaculately manacured lakeside parks and a vibrant "downtown" area that could easily cater to a population far greater than the current 10,000. Also nice, is the strong family oriented vibe. There's a pretty nice waterfall too that inspires a lot of impromptu Yoga sessions.
We can easily see why Reid and Lindsay fell in love with it. Not only is it all the above, but feels close to home, as it is complete with a strong hippy scene. We've just come home from our first summer "Soulstice" party. Pageanism at its best. Drumming, patchouli, incence, home made clothes, tons of naked children and the fragrant Marijauna completed the scene.
Not to mentiona a pretty damn good band. We had a lot of fun. Everyone treated each other as though they were old friends. Hugs are as customary as handshakes. Reid and Lindsay live a pretty welcoming neighbourhood.
Disco Ball teepee. B&K
