The Olympics!!

On Monday of last week, Tien, Dawson, Mackenzie, Camia and I headed to Douglas Crescent to watch the Olympic torch run by on it's way to Vancouver.

It was a pretty neat experience, and the crowd was responsive to the torch bearing Canada gear, waving flags and cheering.

There was an Inukshuk made from snow in front of the City Hall,

And we waited for two hours, so we kept Camia busy by feeding her,

Giving her Olympic memorabilia, Letting her run since the roads were closed anyways,

And just taking photos, thanks to Tien's sister's camera.

I had given my camera to Ryan since the torch was going past his work. I don't usually read the newspaper, so I didn't know that the torch was going pretty much past my house until Tien called me that morning to ask if I wanted to come with her. These photo's are what Ryan took.

I love this photo:

And then the torch came! It went so quickly by that just as soon as it started it was over.

A previous torch bearer posed with us...we were really only interested in the torch :), but a torch bearer in the photo is kinda cool too.
