Kamloops

Every time I go there I must say I’m really surprised at how polite and friendly people who work there are! It’s beautiful, the valley is stunning, and it gets really nice and hot in the summer!

I have been to Kamloops and stayed there two or three times. I stay at the Hospitality Inn which is at the top of the valley. They have an outdoor pool and from this pool you can see the entire valley. It is so beautiful, especially in the evening, to go for a swim after a hot day (because the temperatures in the summer there really soar due to the city being between mountain ranges) and watch the sun set over a city in a valley surrounded by mountains. Truly spectacular!

Was there fixing the pulp mill for a little over a week. While I was there had fun at “On the rocks” that hosted a bikini contest and Spagetti wrestling in May 2006.

i grew up here. i hated it when i was a teenager because i thought vancouver was so much more metropolitan and exciting. so why did i change my mind? kamloops does have its fair share of rednecks, and it’s still not as exciting as vancouver. . . but it’s also possible to drive anywhere in town in five to ten minutes (twenty or so if you need to go from one end of town to the other). the valley bottom is flat, so it’s easy to walk or bike around those parts of town. we have a thriving arts community. i love kamloops because it’s just the right size.

I grew up here, it’s beautiful and hot in the summer, and the city’s former mascot is Kami, a trout with a gun.
