We spent a nice and calm leisurely day at the Hell’s Gate Airtram. The place was almost empty. Just the way we like it. Hell's Gate is an abrupt narrowing of British Columbia's Fraser River, located immediately downstream of Boston Bar in the southern Fraser Canyon.

The towering rock walls of the Fraser River plunge toward each other forcing the waters through a passage only 35 metres wide. The Airtram runs every ten minutes. The natural landscape in this park is breathtaking.

Then we had to travel 48 Kilometers (thirty miles) to find a halfway decent grocery story. Not an organic store in sight. We ended up in the Lytton AG Market. (We were able to find the fixings for Taco Tuesday.) After leaving the checking out, we did a quick tour of the city of Lytton – took about three minutes . . . . a quaint small town.

I was hoping to catch-up on my blogging; unfortunately, I was never able to get the internet package I bought to work correctly. (lookieloo.net) I wrote George an email expressing my displeasure to no response.
