I forgot that I had made a purchase in Barkerville until I found it in my bag.  I bought some “fish” themed measuring spoons.  All of the shop keepers and other employees in Barkerville are in costume and in character.  I took my selection to the counter with an antique cash register, where the young woman hand wrote a bill of sale, carefully wrapped my purchase in brown paper and expertly tied it with string.  All very authentic to the times.  Then I pulled out my credit card to pay and she reached under the counter to pull out the wireless credit/debit machine!!!!   hahahaha.  Can’t get to carried away with anti-technology  🙂
