Vancouver 2010
Shew, what a weekend. I am typing at the computer just to keep from going to bed too early. Truth is, I was ready for bed at 7:30 tonight.
We had such a fun weekend.
We didn't really know what to expect heading to Vancouver in the middle of the Olympic games. We didn't book tickets when they went on sale in 2008 just because it seemed like going there would be so busy, crowded and expensive. But as I started reading this week about the minimal lines crossing the border and the fun events around town...we started talking about it. It helps that we have good friends who live right at the border. So we had an automatic place to stay.
We found that the Olympic spririt is alive and well. There was so much energy and excitement all over town.
We mostly just wandered around town. We looked online for tickets but didn't really see anything that caught our eye. We were by the hockey stadium when the Latvia - Slovakia match was starting...but it would have cost $1,250 for us to go! And I have to say that I'm not that into Slovak hockey!
But there was so much action all over town that it didn't really matter.
Of course we went to see the Olympic Cauldron.
And the Plaza of Nations.
But mostly we just watched people.
Checked out the artwork all around town.
And mingled in the international crowds.
It was a great, spontaneous adventure!
