Cranbrook, Canada

Tom and I enjoyed the beauty of Cranbrook, British Columbia. This 30,000 something city is surrounded by a beautiful mountain range with Fisher Peak being the central focus.
We encountered two brand new fawns on a mountain drive, Forte Steele (an old mining town that is open to the public) and plenty of delicious food. I loved the grilled chicken pantinni sandwhich at East Side Marios. Unfortunately we couldn't find our digital camera before we left so we are unable to share our photos. We had to resort to a cheap 35 mm that we bought at the drug store. Photos will not be around for another week at least.
We did take pictures of a beautiful old church that Tom was intrigued with because of the architecture and setting. It was out in a grassy valley with this beautiful snow-capped mountain range in the background.
On the other side of the street from the church was a casino with an old hotel. Parked outside the casino were several Lamborghinis, a Rolls Royce, Ferraris and other cars that I am unable to spell. Tom was in amazement that so many expensive cars were all together in one place.
We managed to drive old green past the expensive cars and that was a special moment.

Sounds like a wonderful trip! Was that just North of Idaho?
