We return to the city with a heavy sigh. It's only a matter of time before we're planning our next visit. Well played, resort towns. Well played.

I especially love, well, everything––from the gondola ride up to Seventh Heaven (I hear it's no longer accessible), to walking the pedestrian-only village, to poking around in the shops, to enjoying wonderful meals in character restaurants, to writing at the lovely public library, to the entire fantasy of it. <br /><br />Yes, I'd love to live there too––or I think I would. But that will never happen.Rick Modienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157314737543591048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857795538755708479.post-74085250461971282572020-09-14T15:44:44.715-07:002020-09-14T15:44:44.715-07:00I spend a fair amount of vacation time in a simila...I spend a fair amount of vacation time in a similar mountain paradise, or rather, the tourist version of it, much like the pedestrian-only core of Whistler you describe. I occasionally go up when it's snowing, which is what it's designed for, but my favorite things to do up there do not include alpine or cross-country skiing. The sky is a blue that's almost painful and the view incredible during spring through fall. I think about living up there, but then I realize what I really mean is living in the romanticized vacation version where I don't have to deal with real-world problems like bills or deadlines. Somehow it's not the same. I suppose it'll have to remain a vacation destination.Starts with a Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580203519355694523noreply@blogger.com
