Pemberton is Beautiful

Whistler is a nice place to hang out, but Pemberton is BETTER. I love it here.

Our first night after settling in gave us just enough time for a late dinner to sample the 100 mile diet west coast flair from Wild Wood Restaurant and Bar.


BTW the United Nations has declared 2008 the International Year of the Potato, my organic lamb dinner had the best mashed (with skin on) potatoes I have ever eaten and John’s halibut had mashed yams stuffed into baby potatoes…Carb love!!!!

And a fab first night in our lodge of choice…Pemberton Valley Lodge….

A hot tub evening, some great wine and enough sleep to deal with the drive from Pemberton to Whistler for the market in the morning….It was going to be a nice change to drive south instead of north to get to a market!

Whistler was (for the 3rd weekend in a row) perfect weather–crap, I will certainly be stricken with monsoon like weather for next weekend for sure now. Dinner with Rebecca and Jean Pierre was the perfect end to the weekend.

Now the big question for tomorrow…

Zip trek
Hiking a Glacier
Horseback riding
Kayaking

Or sleeping late in this gorgeous suite, lighting the fire, enjoying some organic locally roasted beans and knitting on the balcony looking at the mountains while John swims in the pool???? hmmm. Apparently to be sorted out over breakfast….

Did I tell you that I LOVE Pemberton?

    Josee- I am jealous that you are going back. It is truly one of the most peaceful places. If you haven’t tried the dinner menu at Pony Espresso, give it a try. We ended up eating there twice in the same day!

    We too have discovered the bounty of the Pemberton Valley. We are going back in 3 weeks for some R&R and that oh so easy walking on the dykes to see all the beauty and peacefulness. Love that Pony Espresso coffee and sweets and of course the horse tie-ups outside the doors too.
