Very exciting to see the Olympic torch relay up close in person tonight in West Van!  Cheering on Kirsten Barnes.  Unfortunately my camera batteries died, so I only got a few low quality shots on my Blackberry.

We went downtown afterwards to get a picture with the countdown clock – while it’s still actually counting down!  Less than two days now.  Amazed at how busy it was downtown and the games haven’t even started yet.  Lucked out and caught the first of what will be nightly laser / light / pyrotechnic shows on Robson Square. Very cool – especially the hockey players on the zip-line!
