Vancouver Olympics

February 22, 2010 Posted by bowesnet

Took in some Olympic action in Vancouver.  Spent a night in Seattle before heading up.  Had hockey tickets to see the Latvians against the Czechs and the Belarusians against the Swiss, then curling tickets to see the Canadian women take on the US.  Turns out, the curling had even more atmosphere than the hockey!  Watched the first US-Canada game in an old theatre converted with an HD projector.  Heck of a show, shame about the outcome…of course we all know how the rematch went!  Caught up with some old friends and wandered around the city.  Vancouver really put on a good show!

Ottawa Trip

Went with Des’s Stantec crew to skate on the Rideau in Ottawa.  The weather couldn’t have been more cooperative!  Met up with Dan, Shannen, Jaia, Sonja, Mark, Gary, Michelle, Evan and Jason for the skate and for a great dinner afterwards.  Photos
