....across the room to end this....

If this looks really good to you I would suggest a drive through Creston, BC to enjoy these bottomless cups of coffee and the biggest cinnamon roll we had ever seen. The topping had a decidedly syrup-ee taste to it. Different and yummy. I'm sure it's not necessary to mention here that this giant roll generated a number of comments from passers by as we smacked our lips and licked our fingers, not to mention enticing a few new customers into the bakery as well!
The best part about this coffee break was the sunshine, warmth, friendly strangers, and most of all the relaxing pace of the day....that is to say, we are in slow mode.
Our ride today brought us into Fernie with no room at our favourite hotel. We were about to leave when the hotel clerk came running out to let us know he called a place on the ski hill that had all kinds of rooms available. We made our way up to a great place with a big balcony, leather sofas, and a bed so tall we almost need a ladder to get into it! The bonus? There's nobody up here! We haven't heard this much quiet since we left home three weeks ago! What a perfect ending to the best holiday ever! Tomorrow, we're homeward bound and I can't wait to get into my kitchen to bake something. Cinnamon rolls, perhaps?

mmm, can you bring some here???Please?? I LOVE cinnamon rolls but I really suck at making them...maybe I should get a job at a bakery for a bit to learn the tricks of the trade!

Hey Jobina...I could bake some and bring them with me when I come in Sept! I can't wait to do some baking and I should not be eating it so I'll just give it away! I'm sure the OR hasn't had home baked goodies for awhile either! Take good care of yourself, little Mommy!!
Michele, it was such a treat to end our holiday that way! And it was totally spontaneous too just the way bike trips should be! You were awesome!
