    Sunny Sunday in Whistler

    13 Ekim 2024, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F

    When Cindy made reservations for Whistler last fall, she had no idea it would land on the Canadian Thanksgiving. We are in the mist of Turkey Sales at Whistler and masses of people from Vancouver are coming to celebrate Thanksgiving.

    This was not how I imagined slowly getting used to people and every day life. I took an early morning walk before the masses descended on Whistler Village. It was a lovely walk and I was amazed how fast I could walk without a pack on. Then, Cindy and I watched a BBC mystery to 'decompress'. Afterwards, she went to the library and market, while I went to the Village.

    I despise clothes shopping and Cindy, more often than not, clicks some buttons and some new clothes appear in my drawers. I'm quite fine with that. But while strolling down the crowded walkways, I had a gravitational pull from a 60% off sign in front of the Eddie Bauer store. There in a box in front of the store was a soft shirt and shorts in my new and improved smaller size! Then, while walking to the fitting room, I found a pair of pants that were 50% off! I love celebrating Thanksgiving in Canada. I needed the staff to assure me that everything fit perfectly and finally headed back to the condo exhausted!

    I did see 2 (nonliving) bears on the way back and returned in time to watch Cindy make Mexican Casserole for dinner. Tomorrow is the "official holiday" so the library will be closed.

    Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!
    I'm thankful every day to everyone I know and all I have seen and done.    Okumaya devam et

    Canadian Thanksgiving

    14 Ekim 2024, Kanada ⋅ 🌧 48 °F

    I awoke to a glorious day. My phone said "No rain until 10:00 AM", so I thought I would get a quick hike in before it came. I left in Gortex, boots, my floppy hat, and my trusty walking sticks and within 4 blocks the sky opened up!

    That did not deter me. I was pleased no one was around and headed to the nearest mountain. I sauntered up Singing Pass until a wash out prevented me from continuing, then turned around and went down. After all the trails in Spain, this one was Magical! It had moss, colors, bridges over rushing water, an opportunity to watch crazy people racing down muddy tracks on mountain bikes, and kids going up the ski lift yelling 'Happy Thanksgiving' to me as they waved. I also didn't see a single person until I finished the 15K (9 mile) 1500 elevation walk. Then I saw 2 ladies beginning the walk as I was finishing.

    By the time I returned to the condo, I needed a hot shower and nourishment. After I finished my online substitute training, I pursued Cindy to ride the free buses. They are only free today. It's kind of nerdy but fun to see where the routes take you. I was hoping for a glimpse of a bear, but no such luck.

    This evening we enjoyed Mexican Casserole (which always tastes better the 2nd day) and watched a couple mysteries.

    The biggest surprise of the day was the front desk telling me I won the Thanksgiving drawing!! I wrote the correct answer (yes, Canada used to celebrate Thanksgiving in November) and the manager pulled my name. I don't usually win, but love to fill out anything so I was genuinely surprised. It contained warm fuzzy socks, a small succulent, scented candle, mug with a small spoon and tea, a nice little notebook...all useful items.

    Mushroom Tuesday

    15 Ekim 2024, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 45 °F

    After all the rain we had yesterday, I awoke to fungus everywhere! I love mushrooms. I wish I knew more about them like which ones are edible. For now, I enjoy finding them pushing up against the soil after a strong rain. Knowing that what I see is only a small part of these amazing fungi (which can span miles underground) fascinates me. So today I took way too many pictures of mushrooms.

    I woke up and went on a short hike to Rainbow Falls. On my way there, I noticed a beaver dam, but no beaver. It's so fun to get 5 miles done before noon.

    I enjoyed the sound of the water cascading over the rocks, the smell of the damp moss, and the soft trail under my feet. I'm amazed how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place.

    In the afternoon, Cindy took me to One Mile Park and we walked on a (you guessed it) one mile loop boardwalk. I found a huge metal bell to ring and a little Western Toad. The day stayed overcast but it never rained. It was perfect.

    Wonderful Wednesday in Whistler

    16 Ekim 2024, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 36 °F

    Today was a gorgeous day. Clouds, Sprinkles, and even a little bit of Sun. I woke up and went for a 6 mile saunter around Lost Lake. Funny thing, the lake was not lost. It was right there. The clouds were low, but I saw it! I took some more rugged Nature Trails as I circum- navigated the body of water in the stillness of the morning.

    I spent a couple hours working on a puzzle and then took another walk through the Village. I tried on a couple of rain pants but apparently they don't make them for people who are vertically challenged. They were all 4 inches too long! I'll keep looking because I'm determined to keep walking in the winter rain.

    I also enjoyed giving my Mom a tour of Whistler while I talked to her on Whatsapp. I love the playground, the way they have put log-like benches in the shade for adults to use (when it's hot), and the concrete structure covered with tiles and tubes to pass things through. We also got to watch a young man effortlessly string Christmas lights around a huge evergreen using a Genie telescopic boom lift. That would be so useful for cleaning roofs and gutters!

    Tomorrow is predicted to have sun! There are 4 more lakes to walk around. I don't think I'll get to all of them.

    The Sun Came Out

    17–18 Eki 2024, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 41 °F

    What a delight when I looked out the window and saw the blue sky this morning! Sun must equal warmth. In my excitement, I put on my new shorts and hurried outside for my walk. It hasn't been busy since the weekend but I noticed the few people I saw were not wearing shorts! Well, I walked briskly enough to stay warm and I had my gloves.🧤 It's odd to leave the country in the summer and come back thinking things should be the same but you have missed almost a whole season.

    Today I walked around lakes: Alta, Nita, and Alpha and a beaver pond. Almost 6 miles of glorious sunshine albeit brisk air. I found interesting art, metal detritus/art, and colorful flowers hanging on.

    I enjoyed warming up in front of the fireplace and working on my fall puzzle for a couple of hours then Cindy and I bindged watched some episodes of Grantschester.

    I have truly relaxed this week and enjoyed the beauty around me. I only wished Cindy was feeling better. She has a cold that is stuck in her chest and keeping her inside.

    We were going to go home early but decided she can recover and sleep in the condo just as well as at home and I can get outside and stay away from her to avoid getting sick.

    Last day at Whistler

    17–23 Eki 2024, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 41 °F

    Usually we stay 7 days, but Cindy has a hacking cough so it is time to return home to get her well. To say I have enjoyed my time is an understatement. As Cindy has slept, I have relished my time in nature.

    Today I was greeted with low clouds, barely a mountain could be seen. Snow was predicted but while I walked around the Village it was only cold and very wet. So I found what I liked about Whistler.

    I like the clear signage that can be found everywhere.

    I like the huge trees, moss, and colorful leaves.

    I like the totems. I saw the Welcome Totom that I had seen being carved.

    I like all the mushrooms.

    I like watching everyone work to make Whistler look great: the person putting lights up in the tall evergreens, the many people who blow and rake up the leaves, the hundreds of people who keep the hotels and restaurants going.    Okumaya devam et
