We left Bonners Ferry this morning and headed for Canada, crossing over from Idaho into Porthill, BC at 10:50 a.m.  There was a long line at the control point coming back into the U.S. but we had no problem entering Canada.  The roads are scenic--the mountains high, the white clouds puffy, the evergreens green and tall, the mountain streams crystal clear and the ravines very deep.   

Our 300 mile drive ended in Osoyoos, BC which happens to be a resort/vacation town.  The area was originally settled by Portuguese people.  The vineyards in the surrounding hills have now been taken over by East Indian people (according to the desk clerk at our hotel).  We descended the mountain on horseshoe curves and stopped part way down  to take pictures of the town and lake below.  What a beautiful sight.  I don't think the pictures do it justice.  Who knew such a place existed?
