Whistler

Saw our first bear! There he was by the side of the road in an upmarket street in Whistler, where many of the houses are luxurious log cabins, munching the vegetation on the verge. He just wandered casually across the road in front of the car then disappeared up someone’s driveway. Aren’t they in for a surprise when they get home?

We continue to have fabulous summer weather. On Whistler Mountain, people were mountain bike riding on the bottom half of the mountain in the heat and dust, and still skiing on the top half – in T-shirts.

The gondola ride to the top station is pretty spectacular. I get the feeling that I’m going to be using that word a few times.
