Rest Day - Nelson

Wednesday was a rest day in Nelson. Jen went out for a long walk on a path that runs along the lake, while the boys went to a local bike shop to get new tires for Pat's bike. Then we spent the rest of the day taking in the "local color" in the downtown area. Nelson got its start as a haven for American draft evaders during Vietnam, so the whole town has that peace, love, and happiness vibe.  There is also a great little foodie scene, and we found shops with great cheeses and breads, and of course, beer.  There may have been an impromptu pre-birthday celebration for Doug's 60th that involved a ridiculous party hat and a lot of belly - laughs.  Oh, and there are lots and lots of dogs in this town, which of course made us happy. ;)
