Cheese Rolling (and lots of drinks)

So we checked out some cheese rolling in Whistler this past weekend.
I think they said it is the first event of its kind in North America, which is neat. Whistler is also neat.


We had just arrived - so I decided to snap a quick one out the hotel room window. Hangin' at the pool you see in the background was real fun the next day.

Meg's employer, TAXI, was responsible for the event - this is the first night with TAXI folk and significant others.

Probably tough to tell, but we have pretty bad hangovers...and you couldn't get a Caesar until 11:30 - it was probably 11:00 when this photo was taken.

Some people wore capes to chase the cheese.

The weather was real nice, it felt like the desert. But as you can see, we were in the mountains. That is the cheese rolling course in between the orange fences.

That is an 11 pound wheel of cheese - would have sucked to have it hit you in the head.

That's a cheese rolling hat this guy is wearing...he looks happy, maybe its the Stella.

Cheers to a successful day of cheese rolling!

That's Mike - he had a good time. He is hangin' at the fire pit.

More fire pit - what a wonderful place to drink.

Yet more fire pit. Here is Anna and Colin - very fun to hang with.

Yep, you guessed it...more fire pit. I think we left about five minutes after this photo, but I can't really remember.

Right before we left, we dipped our feet in this river. It was very chilly, but felt very refreshing.

That's the river we dipped our feet in. Nice color...

Here is a video of cheese rolling. The cheese rolling phenomenon began in England. You can click here for some of that footage.

The weekend was sure a lot of fun...can't wait until next year. More carnage can be seen here, as well as some event photos.
