this weekend i had a visitor - A VISITOR! my lovely friend erin was visiting after a conference in victoria, and we had tons of time to hang, chat beads, laugh lots, explore in the sunshiney vancouver goodness - and we even fit in a day trip to whistler. and saw a BEAR.
erin letting the breeze flow through her hair (i have hair envy), and take perfect photographic evidence of the amazing drive up to whistler; mountain bikers at the lifts in the village; streams and quiet spots; the memorial for nodar. will always be heartwrenching; hangin' at the olympic rings; a beer everywhere we go; THE BEAR; the mountains on the way home; urban gardens in kits; my fave view in van - from the granville bridge; some drinks with new friends at jericho beach; the view on a sunday evening; watching the sunset with a beer is unlike much else; the walk home in the sunset.
this weekend had: a very relaxed night on friday, involving some all important grocery shopping (we're crazy outrageous party animals); then saturday included a quick stop at the library, then a day trip to whistler, involving some good old fashioned photography, walking, touristy fun, and some food and beer in the village; then a drive home through the mountains - and have i mentioned we saw a BEAR?! - and a popcorn movie party. sunday involved some internet catch up, and then a wander around town. bead stores, gardens, sushi lunches, and wanders across the two best bridges. then, a trip out to jericho beach for a great view and a few beer. a late night, and a long trip across vancouver. great sunday evening.
and, just because i'm listening to it right now... and everyone in the world needs to hear this song.
