Wicked Whistler

Spent Saturday up at Whistler. I can't put that place into words. Certain spots give you a 'feel' sometimes. Whistler is one of the best feels I have ever had in my life. Stopped on the way at Brandywine falls, Shannon falls and Daisy lake. Hiked around Lost Lake at the base of the mountain. Words escape me. There was a Kokanee Beer mountain bike competition/ fest of some sort happening. Watching these people go was an incredible site for me. I pointed out to one of the women I was with that at Whistler everyone is thin and all the dogs are smiling. She responded that everybody 'rips it up all day up here' so that's how they are able to stay cut much longer than most of us civilians who live elsewhere. I interacted with people in Japanese, Spanish, English, French and Korean during the day.
Was able to catch the final installment of the fireworks festival in Vancouver that night. Mexico was the competitor. Wild visuals.
