Day 17 + ...

The day after the Olympics found me back at work. The last seventeen days have been a bit of a blur. The buildup to the Olympics was a long seven years, and the games themselves seemed to go by very quickly. It was fantastic to experience it first-hand and while I know I'll never experience anything like it again I hope to catch a little of the spirit at some point in the future. I won't miss all the line-ups and the security screenings, but all-in-all there was very little to complain about. I took buses and the Skytrain around Vancouver, and took buses (for the first time) at Whistler. I gained a new appreciation for my city and even felt like I was seeing it for the first time on some occasions. I loved hearing the tourists speaking in the own language and seeing everyone decked out in the colours of their home country (or perhaps they were just wearing that Russian gear because they thought it looked cool!). I still want to get my hands on an orange Nederland toque. I hope you've enjoyed reading my posts. I'll put a few more pictures up, but this'll probably be my last post. Adios!
