More road trip

After Seattle, we continued driving for a little while, and ended up at a place called Leavenworth. It seemed strangely familiar to me, as the place had a Swiss mountain feel to it. Apparently it was "Bavarian", but we dogs have no sense of borders, and it seems that they have similar style to my Swiss homeland.

Anyhow, it was blisteringly hot there... we had lunch at a cafe on the street, then went back to our hotel for some cool air-conditioning! I can't tell temperature, but they said it was 104° F there (or 40° C for us Canadian doggies)... too hot for me. We went back to town later that evening for dinner, and they had sausages and beer (ok, Richie did), and I got a little bit of some German pretzel. We went down to the river too, and I got to cool my paws in the water there, but didn't go for a full swim.

The next day, we got back in the Rover and went searching for an off-leash dog park on a lake. We went to someplace called Lake Chelan, then another one called Manson, and neither of them had anyplace for me to swim! So we said, "screw this country, let's go back to Canada", and we drove to Osoyoos.

Now this is more like it... my own little private beach, and it was much cooler there - only 34° C and some shade by the lake. We had camped here before, so Richie knew it would be off-leash. We hung out there for a couple of hours and then continued on to Penticton. It was also nice there, and after hanging out in the cool air-conditioned room for a while, we went for a swim in Okanagan Lake.

This was a great place to swim - the sand was really nice, and there were tons of dogs (yet another example of why Canada rocks) to get introduced to. 

After a refreshing dip, we went over to the shady area of the grass to relax, and I got some tummy rubs. What more can a dog ask for? 

Anyhow, after we woke up, we got back in the Rover and ended up in Kamloops. We weren't there very long, when Lupin and Humphrey showed up (with their humans)! We did the traditional walk down to Peterson Creek Park, where we all can get our paws wet, as well as quench our thirst.

It was still pretty hot there, so we stayed in the shade most of the time, and slept pretty much all day. I like visiting Kamloops, but could do without the heat. After a few sleeps, we came back home, and concluded our road trip.
