Olympics: Day 1 – Day 4
I’ve been spending some time wandering around the city taking in the sights of the Olympics – not to mention people watching… oh boy is the people watching wonderful!
On Friday we watched the Opening Ceremonies from home (how great was KD Lang??) and then decided to venture downtown for some alcoholic beverages and in hopes that Wayne Gretzky had decided to hang out around the flame for a while to bask in his own glory. (he wasn’t there).
Needless to say we got some sweet shots of the Olympic Flame and Robson Square…
Sunday I ventured out in daylight with Samba and experienced the insanity that was Yaletown, Coal Harbour and Robson Square by day. There’s nothing like being pinned between a mob of 500 and the chain link fence that holds the crowd back from the Olympic Flame!
Yesterday Trevor arrived in town – and him and his friend showed me that I really am old and lame and that being 23 apparently gives you the energy to go out till four in the morning. I also came to the conclusion that I never want teenagers as I woke up every 15 minutes wondering if he was lost in the city and couldn’t figure out how to get home.
