Friends from Plano
First things first - I GRADUATED! Wrote the last exam earlier this month, and here's what I'm finishing with: BA Geography & Asia-Canada (minor), Chinese Certificate and Co-Op Certificate.
In terms of job... been informed Rescan Environmental consulting is considering my resume. I also spoke with the government ministry I worked for and they have opportunities coming up that may be suitable for me.
Next, this past week some family friends from Plano came for a visit. They were on a tour, visited Banff and last few days in Vancouver. On their last day they wanted to visit Whistler and I was their tour guide.
But first, I took them to Deep Cove since it was so close. And yes, Andrea is recovering... slowly but surely.
We got to Whistler and took the first gondola, which was a 20 minute ride. We got off, looked over to the next gondola... which was heading to the top of that mountain.
Here's our friends, Joanne and Don, walking over to the next gondola ride and enjoying the view.
This may not look high up... but it was quite scary. I was tense the whole time.
Here we are on top - 7,000 ft with the view of Whistler.
This is the other mountain where the 2010 Winter Olympic games will take place - Whistler Blackcomb.
And the inukshuk, the official logo of the next Winter Olympic
And this hut... I thought that was just weird. Overall, they had a great trip and it was good to see them again.
Let me be the first to say, "Welcome to the working world. You will now spend 40 more years of tears and sweat. Enjoy the ride."
Your pictures are great to watch. Sometimes I wish I could touch snow again. I'm glad to hear Andrea is doing better and you had sometime to party after graduating. I hope for the best with your job situation; I'm currently job searching myself.
You should post the last picture on some website like collegehumor.com because it is absolutely hilarious. Does snow that much, so the builder had to put the hut on a boulder?
