We have arrived!

It has only been a few days since we began the program but already there seems to be a sense of comfort and familiarity developing within the group. The location is simply amazing and the Little Slocan Lodge has provided us with a wonderful home base from which to explore the area. Today we spent the afternoon learning about wild edible and medicinal plants with Shanoon, who's knowledge on the subject seemed to be almost limitless. We were also treated to a special dish for dinner...delicious nettles and coconut curry courtesy of Ricardo. This photo was taken at the very beginning of the program and I think it will be very interesting to compare it with a group shot near the end. Until then I can't wait for our next set of adventures!
