Farns Niente

Follow along with our current trip or explore past adventures. Our blog title is a bastardized portmanteau of our family name, Farnsworth, and Dolce Far Niente, Italian for “The sweet art of doing nothing”. So this is us getting very accomplished at wasting our time having fun.

  • When is a train not a train?
    Did I say “train adventure”? Due to wildfires closing the tracks our train day became a bus day and our white tablecloth lunch with wine became A&W Root Beer and Teen burgers. (If you know, you know). Very disappointing, but small in comparison to the impact on people living in the path of these fires. The drive was long but scenic despite the smoke. Spent the night as planned, in Kamloops, and had a very nice dinner at Brownstone Restaurant.
