It turns out yesterday we were really not in Whistler Village, we were at Whistler Creek village. We thought it was pretty enough for us but today we drove about two more miles to see the real Whistler village. It is a complete alpine village with two 8000 feet mountains, numerous lakes, creeks rushing through the middle of pedestrian only town and kids and flowers everywhere.

We did "peak to peak ride" which is a combination of gondolas, chair lifts and hikes to go from Whistler mountain to Blackcomb mountain and down. At one point we were going up

( by mistake) rather than going down and JAgdish asked someone about if we can go to the peak that way. He said , " i come here all the time and i never see anyone go up but you can do it. He also said, he just saw two girls going up and he tried to tell them the same thing and their reply was , "but we are Swiss..."

Anyways we had a great day. This place is full of little kids with little bicycles and running around. Interesting observation, most people are European tourists( or local Canadians) as well as Australians and a large percentage of Indians from Canada itself. We are not seeing very many Asians or Spanish people.

Tomorrow is our driving day, so i need to go to bed on time. Good night and send good thoughts our way for the drive up north.
