Got back last night and it was quite an amazing time. Vancouver is a really nice city and the crowds, line ups and events were quite an adventure to experience.

You can see a lot more pictures on Facebook, I will share with you some of the highlights here.

We met gold medal winner Maelle Rickers the way after she won a gold medal for Canada. This was pretty cool to meet a gold medal winnet atht he Olympics where she won it in Canada….

Here is the speech she gave right before we met her

Here is a picture of us with Maelle Rickers (who won a gold for Canada at Vancouver Olympics 2010)

The first hockey game seeing Jagr live, this game was Czech vs Slovakia.  Then we also was Sweden vs Belarus & Quarter Finals (USA vs Switzerland).   The games were very exciting and lots of energy.  The Canadian fans were all going to the Swiz after the USA beating a couple days before. GO CANADA GO!!!!!

We watched the Canada vs Switzerland at the popular Cactus Club, here is the place going loud when Crosby scored the winning goal in the shootout.

Here is the biggest high 5 I could find, I loved these gloves.

FANCOUVER, This is the Yahoo zone for fans to come in, I loved the same and they took some cool pictures.  Some reason they messed all our pictures up and we could not see it online, but it was pretty fun to visit.  Fancouver…..This is in yaletown where we stayed.

Would you believe me if I told you this next picture was real, if so, lets talk about some land in Florida that I got….a cut our on Granville

This is the introduction to Our Lady Peace coming on stage at the Richmond O Zone.

They are bringing out Lord Stanley Cup which will come home to Toronto soon. This was Live City Downtown in the Canada Place. We started the line up here, the olympics were a lot about long long line ups, so we mastered lines by the end by creating new ones a few minutes before they are ready at the start of the event. Since there is little time between events, they only start line ups a little before and no one knows where it starts. So we offer to start it, this worked 3 times having us a lot of time

Here is a picture of Tim, Sam and I with lord Stanley cup, the mounty told he, she has to smile for 7,000 pictures a day

The torch in the day time, the wife may have night pictures on her Facebook profile.  You can see the mountains in the background, I LOVE the mountain views from downtown Vancouver (if you were with me in Vancouver, did I mention that, kidding)

I guess I got my sports mixed up, baseball meets winter olympics

On our way to Russia House (The Science Center) which was nothing exciting, however the walk was pretty nice and all along the water people were showing there Olympic spirit

Being Canadian, we are known for our mounty, so we had to get a picture with them.  I was trying to tag her on Facebook, but could not find the mounty.

We had to see Whistler, the village was pretty nice to walk through and the view was amazing here are 2 videos of the view we got

The view is nice and yes I had to do a fun picture up there, here are a couple pictures from Whistlers.  I dont even like beer, but there is something about being in Whistler that makes you have to have a Kokanee with a great view of the mountains

Stanley Park is a lovely walk, about 9 KM around the whole work.  It is known for its todem poles

This is only a small part of the pictures and what we saw in Vancouver for the Olympics 2010.

GO CANADA GO!!!!!!

Cheers,
