Well, after a day's delay, we pulled out of the Living Forest RV park on Wednesday morning. We had said our goodbyes to a lot of people on Monday, but Bob and Alvisia came over to wish us safe travels and to see us off. After a quick stop at the office, we were on our way to Departure Bay ferry terminal. We had less than an hour wait; and the sailing went by smoothly. And this time, Molly's face didn't swell - yay!!!
We had beautiful snow capped mountains to watch on the 1 1/2 hour crossing; and as you approached the mainland, you could see Vancouver's skyline in the distance.
We got turned around a little bit getting off the ferry due to a detour; and ended up driving through a pretty swanky neighborhood in West Vancouver - pretty nice.
We are now settled in our new park in Squamish; and are completely surrounded by mountains. It's beautiful here. The park is quite new and the owners are busy making new sites, etc. But we are at the far end of the park; no neighbors; and our patio faces a wooded area.
Yesterday, we drove up to Whistler, which is under an hour; and spent a couple of hours driving from the upper village to the lower village and driving through some really nice neighborhoods. In fact, I don't recall seeing one single place in need of repair. And it's quite apparent, that you need some moola to live here. We finally made our way to the downtown shops. This area is called "The Stroll" and is pedestrians only; roughly 800 meters from start to finish and stores and restaurants on both sides. Some of the shops were pretty expensive; even the sales racks were a little steep for me!
The "stroll" eventually ends at the gondola and there were tons of people with ski attire on and carrying their skis or snowboards. Lots of restaurants down at this end of the mall to treat yourself after a long day on the slopes. We were planning on heading back today, to take the Peak to Peak gondola ride; but it's really overcast and drizzly. Guess we'll have to try another day.

British Columbia is truly one of the most picturesque places for sure. Looks like you have a nice forest nearby & you sure can't beat those mountain views.
