Back in Canada, and a little sunburnt

After the Redwoods we headed back to the big highways and across the border. We'd seen a lot of cool things in the US, and had a lot of fun, but we were pretty happy to be back in Canada. Our first stop was Penticton, for some swimming, some sport climbing, and a winery tour. And, since it was the May long weekend, we both got sunburnt. It is a Canadian tradition, after all...

For Megan this was slightly unusual, since she's religious about wearing enough sunscreen. Dave is a bit more relaxed about sun exposure, so this wasn't the first time he'd been a bit toasted this trip. Dave does have a habit of stenciling the day's activity into his burn, by leaving a few uncooked bits. We both had a pretty good sandal-tan by this point, but Dave had also done some more creative stenciling with various bits of climbing gear:


Harness and rack, North Carolina


Harness and radio, Yosemite


A more even burn after swimming and cragging, Penticton


Thanks Geri!
