You see the families out together, the support for their individual countries - but being at home, being a host to everyone is really cool.
The city is so alive and what makes us unique as Canadians is really everywhere.
The rain was not an issue for anyone today and tonight, which is the only way to be here in B.C.
Today may be all I get in terms of immersing myself in the Olympics, as tomorrow is off to Honduras! Meeting my group at 12:30p.m. on this side.
I'm satisfied with what I got to see today. Really wish I hadn't forgotten my red mitts at home on the island.
Standing on Robson underneath the ZipTrek. Definitely would have done it myself, if the line-up was not so long and actually moved. We got some pics with the dogsled and at the free pic booth by accident, which was a good find at the Pacific Centre festivities.
Mr. Da Vinci will have to wait until after the Olympics when I don't have to worry about waiting in a long line to see his works.
The Richmond O-Zone. Bedouin Soundclash on the stage. Interesting cover of Fever and Stand By Me as a prelude to their classic hit.
Super Nice tribute to Jenn Heil for the Silver!
Great way of keeping us Canadians involved and in spirit as "back-up singers" with the audience O Canada! a capella at the end. Oh yeah, it rained the whole way through.
It's finalized now. My Lenten list:
Giving Up On:
-cursing (with the hopes for it to last past-40 days)
-spending (with the exception of the necessities of life like food, and movies because that is really a sole form of social activity for me here. So..no makeup, books/mags, CDs, etc. Honduras is also an exception as spending money has already been taken out and much of it are thank you gifts to my generous friends and family)
Giving In To:
-praying the Rosary daily for someone (I've created a Top 40 Hit List to get me through the 40 days)
This coming Wednesday is Day 1.
