A Moving Afternoon Tea from Whistler!

Bad pic of the train but at least I have one.  We took the Rocky Mountaineer back from Whistler to Vancouver.  A three and one half hour adventure and we had the pleasure of afternoon tea catered by the The Fairmont Chateau Whistler.  It was really deluxe!
We both had a "cocktail" before, ginger ale and apple juice.
A very nice assortment of sandwiches, golden beet, cucumber and watercress, ham & cheese and smoked salmon.  I just love afternoon tea anywhere!  It was very well done.  Then, of course, came the scone, Devon cream and jam.
And I had jasmine tea.  They had quite a few choices.
Then came The Herbal Husband's favorite, dessert.
From left to right, a chocolate covered cream puff (The Herbal Husband got mine and I got his lemon tart which was in the middle of this photo and of course, a chocolate covered strawberry.)  It was a lovely, lovely tea and the scenery was wonderful as well.
We had great service on that train ride.  I called them the Three Mountaineers!  They gave us history of the train and region and were frequently pointing out special places and were a great team.  Soo if you ever get the chance to go on the train and have tea, do it!  Make it an experience!  I think I'll join Bernideen for Afternoon Tea.  Still hot and humid in the 'Burgh.  Hope you are having a pleasant weekend wherever you may be.  Talk to you later.
