I know it's March 17th, and it's been two weeks since the Olympics ended (and Canada's Mens Hockey Team won GOLD!) but tomorrow is the opening ceremonies of the Para-Olympics and so posting another Olympic related post is not too late :)
I can't believe how fast and popular the Olympic gear was! After thinking about, I decided I also wanted the t-shirt "True North Strong and Free" (it's a line from the National Anthem!) so off I went with a co-worker after work to downtown and the line up to get into The Bay was 45 mins long! 45 mins! (This was during when the Olympics were still going on). When we got in, it was packed! And most of the stuff was gone! (Of course those red mittens were sold out). So I searched for the shirt and I couldn't find one in womens! But then I found a boys 14/16 so of course I snatched it up!
I'm so patriotic!
And of course onto the picture spam!
Torch run through my neighbourhood on the day of the opening ceremonies!
Downtown Vancouver -- The Bay flagship store. And of course in typical Vancouver fashion, it rains on the first weekend.
Granville street all pretty with lanterns made by kids; and if you look really closely, you can see ones form Acer too. Product placement much?
Thankfully, the next weekend was gorgeous. Outside Sochi house or Science World!
Pavel "Russian Rocket" Bure's Russian jersey!
Quebec House and Saskatchewan House behind it.
GM Place, or Canada Hockey Place, where the Canucks play! :)
Athletes Village
I found many Inukshuks! (Yes that is me in the white hoody). This was a rocky beach where people have built/building Inukshuks of varying sizes.
That's all for today! I have tons of pictures I need to upload, and hopefully, I'll blog again before this week ends! :)
