02.19.2010 - Day 9 - Day off in Whistler

Breakfast at the hotel.
Left on a 9am bus for Whistler that Joy set up with our new friends at the City of Vancouver for a fee. We took the scenic, winding, 2 hour trip up and the weather was perfect and clear. Our first task was purchasing tickets for the gondola that took us up the mountain for the photos; beautiful!

Taylor over the years has taught me how to take "proper" photos!
The Whistler village was packed with people.
Got down off the mountain and walked around a bit in the Whistler Village before heading back to downtown Vancouver.
I tried to purchase tickets for curling on Sunday as on the Internet there were some available, that we couldn't book online, but they were gone before I got there. I did run into a woman, who totally ripped me off and sold me medal ceremony tickets for a bundle...
Met up with Cory and we walked down to the torch and waited in line about an hours to take photos above it. We also took a long walk down to the other side of the harbor and found a dark chocolate, strawberry crepe on the way back.
