Default Day 3 - Whistler!

With searching for the ladies' and men's room as an excuse, we turned around and headed back to the car to get to the Whistler Village a.s.a.p.! I'm not going to admit to running away from the place overflowing with the biggest ants I've ever seen. Some solid black and the rest are shiny red with dark deadly looking black tail ends. I don't want to see the size of the other critters after seeing these!

In the picture Yodi is relatively deep into the village where there are lifts going up and cyclists coming down the mountain on the bike run. Couldn't get a good shot of this as everyone that was down just went back up the lift again.

Now this brings a pretty anti-climactic end to the day's journey up to the mountain displaying the beauty of British Columbia. I could not feel inspired to take village pictures as there were a ton of shops, beautiful, yes, but it'd just bore you to share with you my crazy shopping frenzy as I am a sucker for cute! Yodi did pick up a couple of souvenirs for her next host family while I picked up a few things I came upon that just shouted for me to buy them for a few special people.

The day ended sooner than we had planned but in retrospect, it was good that we left the mountain while there was still daylight (8pm-ish) because then we wouldn't need to drive in the darkness through the mountain highway as it's NOT lit where it ought to be lit for nearly the entire ways down towards the next town of Squamish. We did grab a quick bite for dinner at Squamish's McDonalds.

By the time we got home at about 10:30 pm, I couldn't make it through resizing all of the pictures we had so I had to leave it to this morning. Sorry for the wait! And this is the end of yesterday, and now we shall start this new day! Check back maybe tomorrow for updates? I believe Yodi is scheduled to leave Monday. And I wasn't even told to where yet! Maybe we'll get to keep her here forever.
