After four excruciatingly hot hours in the car, we arrived in Kelowna around 3:30. We checked in our hotel right away, freshened up, and went straight to the Cactus Club Café - which is a chain of fancy bar restaurants where every employee is a hot chick with big boobies in a tight black dress that makes you want to run straight to the treadmill and/or hide under a rock. We shared a couple appetizers and threw back a few drinks. Our waitress, who was a very sweet girl, explained to us that we came right in the middle of some huge festival. Unfortunately, because it was a Sunday and late afternoon everything really rad was already done with but the hoards of young hooligans still clogged the streets. JOYOUS! Our night consisted of just randomly strolling the streets and ending up at some Korean restaurant. Jeff was in kimchi heaven. My dish was pretty average, but I will never tell Jeff that because he practically flipped over backwards and had an orgasm upon first taste of his food. We retired (again) to the hotel pretty early. Jeff and I are pretty claustrophobic and weird when it comes to crowded environments and EVERYTHING was packed and super expensive. We both thought Kelowna was okay - nothing impressive. I did realize by the time we hit Kelowna that there aren’t very many overweight Canadians. Not to say that I didn’t see a few people with extra baggage, but they were few and far between. I felt like a cow in Canada - seriously. On a side note, Canada bans high fructose corn syrup….could this be a cause and effect type thing? As you may know, I have an EXTREME sweet tooth. I usually can’t make it through an entire day without indulging in something sweet. However, I went six days and only ate one bag of jelly beans (on the car ride to Kelowna). I’m really wondering if the HFCS makes me crave sweet. Just a thought. Also, this is interesting - BC had NO fountain drinks. They only had canned and bottled soft drinks, even in gas stations and restaurants. I wonder why this is. Anyway…on our way out of Kelowna, we ate breakfast at this Dutch place that served giant pancakes with a whole assortment of toppings. Jeff got a potato hash and I got strawberries and bananas. YUM!
