O Canada

We are in Whistler this week for a 20 group meeting. We are so blessed to be here. Whistler is absolutely gorgeous!!! We flew into Vancouver on Sunday and then took a sea plane to Whistler. The ride to Whistler in the sea plane was amazing. The lakes, mountains, volcanos, snow...acres and acres of Douglas Firs....Incredible!!!! We are staying at the Four seasons which is in the Upper Village of Whistler. The winter Olympics are here in February. We bought a few shirts and other things with the Olympic symbol on them. On Monday we went zip lining. See the pics attached. It was so much fun!! At first, I thought "what have I gotten myself into" but it turned out to be unbelievable!!! I'm not sure how high in the air we were but above the trees and then some!!! You have to be 60lbs to do it. The cables will hold 8 SUV's and the trolley attachment you use to hook on the cable will hold 250lbs. Safety was first with the tour guides. They were constantly checking the harnesses and clips. Our group had 3 guides. 2 would go across first to help receive and then one would send.
Today we did the Peak 2 Peak gondola. It is one of the largest gondola's in the world of it's kind. It goes from Blackcomb mountain to Whistler Mt. We first took a chairlift up Blackcomb and then took the P2P over and then took another gondola down. It takes almost an hour and a half. We saw a Mama bear and cub on Whistler Mt. There is a rock formation on top of Whistler that will be the symbol for the olympics. The rock formation looks like a person. I would love to come back for the Olympics. The paraolympics are in March. That too would be incredible to watch!!! Maybe better than the Olympics because they have beaten all the odds.

I've got to sleep. It's midnight here but 2am at home. I'll try to write more tomorrow!!! Enjoy the pics.
