• OH CANADA (Part III)

  Whister (wed)

  
  

  wed morning i felt like crap….i
  dunno why but i was just not feeling at all great… anyway decided
  suck it up and go out…. however the gondola ride DEFINITELY did NOT
  help my feeling crappy… it made it worse… one thing i HATE about
  the whistler side is that they decide to pack a gazillion people in the
  gondola…and it’s a LOOOOOOOOONG ride up…. luckily the people we
  were with were somewhat entertaining but i was trying to concentrate
  sooooooooo hard not to feel bad… but it was like really bad motion
  sickness….even thinking about it makes me all dizzy and crap…
  anyway…i spent most of the day hanging out… and just sitting still
  and enjoying all the space and warmth i had at the table i
  chose…outside seemed like it was pretty windy and snowy so i felt
  better that i was resting and inside…. i didn’t have to spend it
  alone b/c one of the gf’s of pat’s friend’s friend was feeling
  frustrated…had seen pat and told her i was inside… which definitely
  worked out…. she had never done sudoku before, so i showed her how to
  do it… and the time just passed and i felt soooooooo much better… after lunch i was finally able to go out…but it was nice b/c pat got to go out to different places….  since the weather was so nice they had opened up the peak chair and that was AWESOME… the snowfall from the night before was great!  super light powder that i didn’t get stuck in!  despite feeling crappy the 2nd part of the day was GREAT!
  

  

  peak chair… whistler peak!
  
  

  walked around the village a bit…and went to have dinner with everyone at umberto’s… pat and i went to the wrong umberto’s and we were a little late to dinner… anyway… mozarella salad…italian sausage pene pasta…and pat had
  

  

  Blackcomb (thurs)
  

  
  icicles… pat on telemark skis….
  

  thursday was similar to tuesdays conditions…pat decided to try telemarking… and got the hang out it… spent most of our time on the otherside of blackcomb… which was lots of fun… especially since conditions were pretty clear…
  

  

  that night we had an awesome dinner at pat’s friends’ place… they made this lamb that was absolutely to die for!  i usually dislike lamb.. but this was sooooooooooo yummy!  it was stuffed with garlic and rubbed with rosemary and mustard seeds… and then they bbqed it… sooooooo  soooo yummy!  and with it was chicken, salad, etc… EVERYTHING was sooooooooooo good!  unfortunately i didn’t take any pix….

  the next day we weren’t sure if we were going to go…but decided to anyway…. it was g ood early in the morning, but raining later… so we just stopped…
   

        

  we decided to go down to the village and walk around a bit… came across the vancouver 2010 olympic info booth… it was really neat… showed the different venues, planned venues, etc…
  
  the last dinner with everyone was held at sushi village… and we ate a whole bunch of different foods… soooooooooo yummy… and celebrated pat’s birthday a little early…yummy green tea ice cream!
