An afternoon at Skaha Lake (Penticton)

 Why is it that whenever I visit the "sunny Okanagan", it rains?

It just does! On this day, Barb, Sean, Angela, Marco and I had planned to tube down the Okanagan River, joining Okanagan Lake with Skaha Lake. No such luck. Apparently, in late August, there wasn't enough water in the river to make this a viable operation.

Too bad. But, not to worry; the sun came out and we went swimming at Skaha Lake.
