I hope you are having fun watching the Olympics on TV. I am having fun being part of the Olympics but it is very crowded because lots of people are here to enjoy the Olympics. We take the bus and train to all sorts of different places to watch different events because there is too much traffic to take the car. So far we have been to Cypress Mountain to see Men's Moguls, Pacific Colliseum to see the Pairs Figure Skaters in practice, Thunderbird Arena to see Women's Hockey (Canada beat Switzerland- the final score was 10-1 and I cheered the whole time!!!), BC Place to see Alex Bilodeau recieve his gold medal and The Richmond Speed Skating Oval to see the Women's 500 M race. Lots of people here are wearing red and white to show their Canadian pride. People cheer really loudly for all of the Canadian athletes at all of the events. I love being Canadian!! Did you know that all of the women in Speed Skating start their race differently?
One of the fun things about the Olympics is that we can collect all sorts of things. I am collecting different pins and trading with people. It is lots of fun and I am meeting lots of people this way. Tomorrow we will be going to Whistler to see some different Olympic events. I will try to send some more updates from there.
See you later,
Shannon
