Me waiting for the Sky Train at Marine Drive Staion.
The Olympic Cauldron on the Burrard Inlet waterfront. There was a fence around the cauldron that made everybody quite disappointed but today I heard that they are taking the fence down which made everybody happy.
This flag is an amazing feat that is situated on Georgia Street south of the celebration zone, Robson Square.
Center ice in Vancouver ( G.M. Place, downtown Vancouver)
This is are all pop cases that were stacked to make the Olympic rings at a grocery store.
Here are some pictures from downtown Vancouver. The hockey game was great, U.S.A. won 3-1 over Switzerland. I will post some pictures of that later. Post a lot of comments I like to here from you guys
So cool! It nice to see you in the pics. We are watching the Canada Hockey game. It should be exciting to be in Whistler tomorrow. Make sure you fight your way into a good viewing spot for luge. Canada has two teams for doubles. The Mowatt brothers (they finished 9th last time) and some young 18 year old guys. The big flag is awesome, its my favourite. I am anxious to see your hockey pics.

ReplyDeleteDon't forget to take more pics !!!!¿?¿!!!!!

I was wondering where the flame was located. Now, I would like to know more precisely. :)
ReplyDeleteMy friend at Anvilcloud is a retired teacher. He has two daughters that live overlooking English Bay. You should visit his blog and answer his question and say you enjoyed having him visit your blog. (blogging ediquette).
ReplyDeleteI have been watching the Canada/Norway game. Canada found its scoring skills. This is a good start.
I watched the girls snowmoarding. It got very exciting although I gather it was not as good a show as it could have been if the weather were better.
Vancouver seems to have gotten itself all excited about the Olympics as the pop can display is witness to.
I had forgotten you were going to see the US/Switzerland game. How to the American's look. Are the strong enought to take on Canada?
It must be so exciting being there and being caught up in all the enthusiasm of the crowd. I've been watching figure skating the last couple of nights. I had to go out tonight so missed Patrick Chan's short programme but will see it later On Demand. I hope he did well. I also want to see the gold medal run of the Canadian woman snowboarder. Speed skating is another event I enjoy. I felt so sorry for Jeremy Wotherspoon that he didn't make the podium when he is such a strong sprinter. When I'm watching various indoor events I see a lot of empty seats so I guess tickets are still available for lots ot things. Did the US hockey team look strong? Hugs from me.
ReplyDeleteYou asked for comments, so I'm obliging. I'm a fan of your grandfather's blog and followed his advice to visit yours. I'm glad I did. It's been fun to have your perspective and to see your pictures.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite events is snowboarding half pipe, but I'll be working tomorrow night and will miss getting to see Shaun White bring home some more gold.
What you call pop we in the south of the US refer to as Coke. It's all Coke to us, though it comes in a variety of flavors, and if you ask someone for a Coke, if they're from the south, they'll automatically ask you what kind you want.
I like the Olympic rings done in Coke/pop, and I've seen this done with our local college football team's logo and was glad not to have to have set it up. I'm quite certain I'd have found my mistake the minute I finished and would have had to start over again.
Thanks for the posts and the pictures. I'm a little jealous and would love to see both the Olympics as well as Vancouver in person.
Thanks for sharing the awesome pictures! Hope you have some great weather for your trip to Whistler today.
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to ask if they are selling any of the snowboard helmets that the athletes are using. If so, you should get yourself one (I think they are really cool).
My favourite picture is the Inukshuk at center ice. “The traditional meaning of the inukshuk is "Someone was here" or "You are on the right path."
I am anxious to hear from you tonight. Have a wonderful day!
Love,
Mom xoxoxoxoxoxoxo :)
The Olympic Cauldron is situated on the Burrard Inlet Waterfront (Cordova St.).
