5 days left in Canada

We're counting down the days and the numbers are getting smaller. We got back on Wednesday night after a week long journey across BC. The van made it home without any more dramas and we were very greatful. We took it pretty slow and made time to visit a few wineries, some relaxing hot springs, and to spend one morning volunteering with the Gleaners in the Okanagan valley. Now, if you haven't heard of the Gleaners you should really check it out. They take in fruit and vegetables that might otherwise go to waste, dry it, and then partner with reputable charities to distribute it overseas. There are absolutely no paid positions and they manage to crank out some 6 million servings of highly nutritious vegetable soup. If that sounds interesting to you check out this website. http://www.okanagangleaners.ca/
