So yesterday (technically day 2) I didn't work, and took advantage so I could get the Squamish lay-o-the land. Scoped out the Pilates studio, the Yoga studio, the Yarn shoppe (cool spelling, eh?) the latter is not just a yarn shoppe, but also a gelateria, and an organic bulk foods market - odd, but the Squamishians (?) love it. I did too. Anyway, the Sothams fed me great food again, poured me delicious wine, and it was a wonderful day.

TODAY - had my first somewhat negative experience - there is all kinds of rules about how voluteers can/cannot ride the transit: basically, if I'm on duty (wearing full uniform), I can only ride the custom, luxurious shuttle, ABSOLUTELY NOT the B.C. transit bus - better not wear it on my day off, because I would be mistaken for an "on-duty" person. I can't go through the entire drama, because it would take too much typing, but there are jerk supervisors down here with the B.C. Transit. And he called me a Smurf using a nasty tone of voice.

The rest of the day was glorious, perhaps a little creepy - Whistler/Blackcomb was empty, or nearly. I had runs all to myself: look up, look down, no one. wierd. But, I did get to see the skiiers training, and wow! That was great -see photos.

Another great meal this evening with Joe and Nancy - pesto pasta, salad, grainy bread. Joe even baked a lovely spice cake. I did manage to get into the village before I came home and bought a decent bottle of wine to share.

Work tomorrow! looking forward to it - hopefully boring as all get-out!
