Arnica House
I mentioned that Anders is the reason that we have wireless at our condo. We originally didn't-- we could pick up lots of signals but they all required passwords so we were going into Silver Star to use our hotel lobby's internet. This frustrated Anders to no end so he went in search of a wireless password figuring we could buy a password from one of our neighbors. He came back from next door with not only a wireless password but also a dinner invitation!
The house next door is actually an antique shop, Arnica House Antiques, which is run by Carol King. So last night she had us all over for dinner... talk about Canadian hospitality! Our dinner was the finest dinning experience I've had in awhile- including lamb with mint jelly and roasted vegetables, scrumptious. And quite the setting. Since most of her house is the antique shop all of her furniture is antiques that she's selling and she also displays art from local artists so the home is fantastically decorated. It looks like a normal house (if normal is immaculate and tastefully decorated) except that almost everything has a price tag on it. Last night was the first time I've had dinner under a chandelier with real candles burning in it. crazy. If you're in Silver Star I would stop by the Arnica House (530 Monashee) and at least get to meet Carol even if you're not at all interested in antiques.
