At first, I wasn’t entirely convinced on this whole olympic thing. I wasn’t against the olympics per se (let’s not get into it =p ) but I wasn’t exactly thrilled either.
When I was sitting in Dylan’s (my boyfriend) living room, waiting for the opening ceremonies to start, I really didn’t know what to expect, but by the end I was stunned. They were amazing! And at that point I was hooked. I’ve been watching all the events I can (and i’m not a sports person) cheering on our Canadian athletes. It’s sooo entertaining!!
But the sports are actually not my favourite part about the olympics. I’ve been downtown a couple times since the games started, and WOW. It is jam packed with people, Vancouverites, Canadians, Americans, and people from all over the world! It’s awesome. Everyone is smiling, and checking out the sights and the events. I normally don’t enjoy crowds of people, but the energy is incredible downtown. I love it.
Here’s a photo of the cauldron I somehow managed to get on Saturday (the gap in the fence is WAY to high…i couldn’t look through my viewfinder!!)
