Let the pictures do the talking

Once again, miss anonymous, this time with her hubby, took me to a wonderful vacation spot up in the mountains called Whistler, a ski resort during winter that extends until spring. A two-hour drive from West Vancouver, there are a lot of good views to see along the way. We first stopped at the famous Shannon Falls.

Had a hard time finding a parking space. Anyway, here's a view of the parking lot.

The place is filled with people. I chanced upon a not so busy spots and clicked away. Whistler will be the venue for the next Winter Olympics. This early, plans are underway to make the event a success. We were greeted by a young woman into the Olympic Center.

The two-hour drive is not bad considering the beautiful snow-capped mountains viewed from afar and the lushness of those nearby.

We passed by several ports along the way. There were people in their scuba diving gears getting ready for the big swim. Didn't find it appropriate to catch them on film, though.

Mickey, sabi ko sa daddy mo papuntahin kayo dito for a visit tapos ako na bahala sa inyo. Sayang nga at hindi niya kasama ang mommy mo. Mas lalong masaya sana.
