There's Gold in Them Thar Hills!

New retirement plan: We're going to retire to Barkerville. Teresa will paint, sew and sing, and I will fiddle, knit and blacksmith.

Who says advertising doesn't work? On the way up the highway, we saw more and more signs for Barkerville as we approached Quesnel. So we decided to stop in. And stayed 24hrs. There was so much to see and do! And either we were loud and obnoxious, or other visitors are boring. One actor, erm... resident, asked us if we hired out as the perfect audience. And another made several comments throughout the day about "everybody's favourite audience".

They were all a lot of fun. Oh, and we found out that blacksmiths in the 19th century are addicted to Starbucks. But that Tim Horton's is good enough for the road construction crew.

PS. Mum, you can now sign up for e-mail updates. Look for the box to the left (or right, for you non-dyslexics) of the Blog.
