Regent/Vancouver/Whistler

Beautiful British Columbia. Yup. Its true. I don't have my own pictures to prove it because I was trying to stay on the road (there was a lot of road construction..probably getting the roads ready for the 2010 Olympics).

Well, to start out I headed to Regent College in Vancouver on Thursday morning and caught the end of a class on Christian Education which was pretty cool. Then I hung around the Vancouver area for a while (lost, most of the time...which helped me to see more of the city I guess) and eventually went to my host families on Thursday evening. They had a small group over and I met a bunch of people from Regent. The Regent Community is Phenomenal!

I went to a Church history/Philosophy class on Friday morning which was awesome. The class just read The Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis which I just read this summer, so I could sorta participate. After a few hours of that I drove up to Whistler and hung out in the Village for a while. I got board(probably because I got there late and I couldn't do a whole lot without spending the night/my life savings) so I drove around and picked up hitch hikers. I met some interesting folks...like two dudes from France who are spending a year in Canada traveling around and Snowboarding.

I got back in the States on friday night after waiting at the border for an hour and a half. Good Weekend...I miss friends though. :)

Great pictures! I am jealous of you being in vancouver/whistler. John and I were there 2 yrs ago for our honeymoon. I remember the Lion's gate bridge...and being lost in vancouver...and whistler village...and sitting inside our room at whistler's village because it was raining the whole time. At least there was a starbucks:)
