Kamloops
If I can remember everything I will try...
Friday at 10am,
We hit the road and decided to take the fraser canyon instead of the coquilaha. There was reports of snow up there and the canyon is more scenic anyway. The original plan was to go to kelowna and meet up with Jess (Merediths cousin) and have dinner out there. Instead we just took our time through old highway #1.
We stopped for lunch at the Kanaka Bar Cafe in Boston Bar. I got a damn big mushroom burger and it was only $6!!!! WTF!? lol After that we came to a forest service road outside of Lytton and took out the guns. Meredith took to a handgun really fast especially since it was her first time with one. We dumped 2 magazines in the 1911 and 2 in the rifle and went back on the road.
Thank Zombie Jesus I took over 200 pictures so I can remember all this..
Next we came through Merrit and took the back road to Kamloops, we stopped at a weirdo campsite thing where a bunch of squatters were living and I got to drink fresh river water, so good. I took some in a bottle and drank it later.. soooo good.
Another stop was taken in a creepy cemetary, the oldest grave marker we could make out was 1912 and the youngest was 1946. There was a headstone that said Mary Raspberry!!
uhhh then I dont remember much except for taking video of all the cows we saw until we got to kamloops.
In Kamloops we got to Jess's place, changed, showered, went out for dinner to Kelly O Brians, which in kamloops isnt disgusting like in surrey. We met Jess's boyfriend Chris who is a server there. I had a Philly Subwich, so fucking good, prime rib, mozzarella, red and green peppers, red onion all on a toasted bun.. so good. Then after dinner we went back to our temp home and watched 40 year old virgin and slept.
Saturday:
We got up early and drove 320 kilometers to Nakusp to go to magic healing hot springs. It was great, the hot pool was 105 degrees and there was a cold one at 55 degrees... That was fucking cold! This woman just walks in and sits down so I thought it wasnt that cold. I ask her how cold it is and she says not bad so I plunge in. It was friggan glacier water, I was out of there so fast.
I eased into a 2nd time and that was okay, but there was no way I could hang out in there.
It took us nearly 8 hours round trip to the hot springs and back so we had dinner in salmon arm and a bar called the barley station and they had a station burger on the menu. I felt closer to home a bit.
We got the liquor store just in time and apparently Jess didnt read the door and pulled instead of pushed. We had a mini heart attack thinking we were too late lol.
Pre drank crown and coke at Jess's while the girls got ready. I was done in a record breaking 5 mins :D ( I showered at the hot springs so all i needed was a new shirt and some gel) We got a ride with a girl named Mel who drove a nice jeep. Her goal was to pick up a guy and I guess have him take her home so she didnt need to drive again. She succeeded lol. Pre drinking is definately the way to go... I bought a lot of drinks and only spent $75 and that included uhh... 5 double crown and cokes, 3 glasses of wine (2 for meredith 1 for Jess, none for me haha) and two gladiators and a vodka slime. I love gladiators so much haha.
That night I saw drunk Meredith, so funny. She was keeping with me drink wise and then I broke ahead while she just got drunk. We were leaving the bar because we were going to try a new place and I figured we would just go home because of how drunk she was. Well... fuck.. she found her second wind. She was doing tae kwon do in the streets (bruised my wrist sparring with her lol) climbing scaffolding on the way to Kelly O Brians. so funny. We get to the restaurant and its all locked up, Chris and the other guys let us in and Meredith comes in talking a scottish accent. She sees our server from the night before and yells JAAAAAMMMESSS and then proceeds to talk in her scottish accent. Then the alcohol finds its way back in control and she is passing out in a booth. We finally get a cab at like 3am.... Meredith and I leave, Jess stays with Chris. The cab ride was $12@!! thats so crazy. Anyway I get her into a bed, I head off to bed, and then I hear Jess in about 4 or 5am... she is crying.. Meredith talks to her for awhile and reports to me and we all go to sleep.
Sunday:
And let the hang over begin...
We didn't do much of anything sunday. I being the champion drinker lost my hang over a few minutes after brushing my teeth, the girls were out most of the day. We made pancakes for breakfast. I took a 3 hour nap and woke up to mexican food being cooked. It was delicious, Jess and Meredith = awesome cooks.
Later that night Chris came over and we played cards and drank strawberry smoothies full of vodka. Pretty good, I am the drink master.
Again went to sleep probably around midnight..
Monday:
Woke up this morning feeling great.. why?because it was 10am.. shit! had to get up and leave.
I had doritos and coke for breakfast, we were told the coquihala was free of snow so we took that for the extra speed we'd gain. Didnt happen, 20 mins to the toll booth and we got snow, at the toll booth and it was coming down pretty good. Had to go 30 - 40 km for what seemed forever. Rest of the drive once we got to Hope was good. I took a lot of photos and we stopped for lunch at white spot in Chilliwack. Got home shortly after and I was surprised by my mom with an amazing easter present.
One of her co workers is from mexico and she got her cousin to smuggle me up a bottle of Mezcal!!!!! it is legit too. worm and everything. It is right from Oaxaca. The holy grail of tequila haha.
Now I am posting on here, and ready to shower and sleep in my own bed, not some guy named Davids (he wasnt home, I wasnt sleeping with him, fuckers)
