    We enjoyed a lovely ferry ride back to Anacortes, spent Friday night at Fidalgo Bay Resort, then were up early to cruise northeast to Kamloops. Headed to Costco for provisions... love the exchange rate😀$!
    Sunday we took a walking tour of historic downtown Kamloops...😐 not too much going on as it's a national holiday and most shops and museums are closed. We did take an long bike ride on the Kamloops River Trail along the North and South Thompson Rivers through Pioneer, McArthur Island and Riverside parks, then treated ourselves to ice cream! A perfect day for exploring.
    Monday we strolled through the Secwepemc Heritage Park and around the old Kamloops Indian Residential School. We'd hoped to tour the museum but it was closed for the holiday. We did talk to a security staff person who told us some hair-raising ghost stories about the school.
