NEW HOUSE MATES & BEARS

CANADA | Monday, 20 October 2008 | Views [298]

Ok so we have been in Whistler for arpound 3 weeks now, since then we have 5 new ppl move into the house. Lee & Amy came first but due to the fact that they had cheaper accommodation in reserve through there employer they have moved out. Mindy was the next arrival to the house and she is sharing a room with Laura. Tobin and Chloe are the latest to move in after taking Lee and Amy's room. So now the house is all settled and everyone is doing well to make it work with 6 people. Meanwhile Lee and Amy are settled in there new place which happens to be across the road anyway, in Brio Staff Housing.

Around the time that everyone arrived in town we all went out in the village to celebrate. On the way home from the Savage Beagle, which is a night club.. cool name I know! Anyway on the way home we came up the path to our house and a guy was running the other way saying there was a big bear coming. We had a look and saw a massive bear around 4ft high when it was in all fours position coming down the trail towards us. We all got into strategic positions to get a safer look. Lee and I werent so well placed we were only about 5 ft from the bear behind a tree taking photos, due to the fact that we had been drinking and one of the cameras wasnt setup right we didnt get any good photos, but we did get a cool, up close look of a black bear. We then arrived home to Raccoons in our garbage bins. Some of the household were trying to feed them peanut butter on bread but the raccoons prefered the stuff in the bins. Those things are very loud and fiesty, alot scarier than possums.
