We are now in Vancouver BC for the winter Olympics. this trip was a Christmas present from Debbie. we have tickets for the men's curling finals on Saturday. staying in a condo in the middle of downtown and spent the day yesterday afternoon walking around. a good day as it wasn't raining and there were tons of people around. all sorts of dialects, musicians and exhibits. there is a zip line that runs for 2 city blocks with those zipping screaming the whole way. we walked to the cauldron and had to wait for 30 minutes to get to the viewing stand but great people watching. the buildings are peppered with Canadian flags hanging from balconies, and we heard the entire city explode when the Canadian women won the gold. had a great dinner last night (know that some of you are surprised to learn that) at Blue Water Cafe. Jonathan would have been most impressed as we had a great wine in the funkiest decanter I've ever seen (sorry no pic) - it was two feet tall and we were afraid to touch it. we met the sommelier who was voted best in the city last year.
raining today and not sure what we will be seeing but hopefully will have some comments tomorrow and some pics
