Osoyoos!!

So I have found that I'm not quite a tolerant as I used to be.
We have had a wonderful few days in Osoyoos, relaxing and touring wineries and sightseeing with friends and they have now headed back home to Edmonton.
The tolerance thing comes in because we were not able to have our usual room this year so we had a room (same design and space) next to the "party" room. By party I mean, the room where the people are who sit on the balcony outside their door and smoke and drink beer or wine and talk endlessly...which is not a bad thing, except when they are located right outside your door so everytime you exit your room, you are assailed by raucous laughter, cigarette smoke and they are very "IN YOUR FACE" type people. They are nice people...just not what I needed after a busy and stressful (although ending beautifully) week. I was so looking forward to peace, quiet and relaxation....which we now have, to some extent...as they are leaving today (I think)
On the up side....it's been a blast having our friends with us, visiting the wineries, having awesome food, giggling, laughing enjoying each other's company...and there were a few early morning swims in there for the guys and they also got to "tube" behind a motor boat. Wow!!
Note...I say the guys....we women just sat on the patio and took pictures and marvelled at their endurance!! However, we did swim and had fun too.
Now I have some down time....quiet time.....relaxing time and time to get back to eating healthily....although I have to admit...the food has been great up until now!!!
I will blog more when I get home....now it's out to the patio to read for a bit!!
