Whistler - Part 2

So here are the details of our excursion to Whistler.

I picked up AEK at 9:30am, and we left immediately after, arriving in Whistler at around 11:45. We checked into her favourite restaurant in Whistler, Chef Bernard's Ciao-Thyme Bistro, for lunch. Our meal was so delicious!

Afterwards, I had a coffee.

Then we went on a 2 hour hike. The view of the mountains, the valleys, the trees, and the wild flowers never cease to amaze me. They are evidence of a master designer-creator, and they remind me of the beauty and fragility of life. Oh, and yes, the woman in the picture is also quite a masterpiece!

Towards the end of our hike we were a little disappointed because we ran into the many construction sites for the Olympics of 2010. What a contrast .. the beauty of God's creation, marred by bulldozers, trucks, and concrete. On the other hand, I look forward to what this will look like 5 years from now when the Olypmics are held.

We left for home around 5:30pm. We arrived tired and cranky, but not before taking a good long last look at the Squamish Chief on our way home. What a rock!
