If you haven't already heard the 2010 winter olympics are coming to Vancouver, in fact they are about one month away. We don't actually have tickets to see any of the events (they were a tad pricey... some upwards of $200/ticket per person for the more popular sports - i.e hockey and ice skating), so Roger and I will hopefully be checking out the other Olympic budget-friendly related festivities around town. This is a shot of one of the venues (I believe curling) as they prepare for the big event... ok, it is a shot of the fence, so you can't really see the venue... but now you are even more intrigued aren't you.

I'm so jealous! I wish I could get that close to amazing athletes.
ReplyDeleteOoooh! Cool! Are you going to get to see any of it, besides on the television?

;)Love it! So happy I won't be there though....aack...super heavy traffic.
ReplyDeletethat's so cool! I hope you'll share the experience with us! I can't believe it's already time for the olympics again...my husband and I were just discussing that yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI love the Olympics staying up late to catch all the action. I would love to be so close, really a special time, enjoy! Where I live we get US and Canadian coverage, great to see two perspectives all day everyday.
ReplyDeleteOooh Nice. Hope you get to see it live =)
ReplyDeleteI love the olympics, you are so lucky!! I'll be watching from the comfort of my couch ;)
ReplyDeleteI must admit, I really wanted that dreamy blue Vancouver 2010 hoodie that Jillian (the bachelorette wore). It was sold at Aritzia. Okay, so I don't even pay that much attention to the olympics, and I normally don't wear clothing with words on it, but man I wanted that sweatshirt! Feels good to come clean about that ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm getting excited about the Olympics-love to watch the ice-skating! Surely, I would not want to live near all the crowds that will come.
ReplyDeleteWow, those ticket prices are steep!
I always end up watching more of the Olympics than I anticipate. :)
ReplyDeleteWOW! Expensive is right - probably a once in a lifetime experience to get to go though :)
ReplyDeleteExciting stuff!! I am lucky enough to be heading out to Vancouver (from Ontario) for the Olympics. Yes, the tickets were expensive but it'll be a once in a lifetime experience and being able to stay with family and friends does help a lot!
ReplyDeleteOh, that fence is just creating an air of mystery and excitement to the games!! Makes me want to scale it :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the games to start - I love the olympics - it brings me back to loving them so much as a child.
Ooh, I love watching it on TV. Looking forward to it... :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the Olympics to start! Norway is sendig a lot of athlets and I will be following all the Nordic events!
ReplyDeleteI love Vancouver and am happy to see the olympics there.
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting time it will be for the city-there will be so much energy and celebration!
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! I would love to be in the same city as the Olympics at some point. :)
ReplyDeletemy little guy seems to spot something in the olympic graphics that i can't see - he says "ceratops" (aka triceratops) every time we pass anything with these graphics!
