Re: 2010 Winter Olympics

On Wednesday, we also went to see the Paralympic flame (same one as the Olympic one) but we got to go to a rooftop vantage point to see it.
In the background is the International Broadcast Centre where all the media from around the World were stationed.
It was held in Vancouver's newest & second Conference centre.

Re: 2010 Winter Olympics

It was a beautiful day with a beautiful view of our local scenery.





The last picture shows Cypress in the background where snowboarding events were held.
The venue is on the other side of that mountain, on this side you will see houses in what is called "British Properties" big fancy houses that are EXPENSIVE.

The rich live there like Shaq O'neal (yep he has a house) Tommy Chong, are a few that live there.

Re: 2010 Winter Olympics

We also walked up to the Vancouver Art Gallery where the feature exhibit was the drawings of Leonardo Da Vinci.
It cost almost $70 bucks for admission for our family however, it was free for all during the Olympics courtesy of the B.C. Government.






A link to the art gallery.

Re: 2010 Winter Olympics

John Furlong the CEO of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver cut short his participation in the closing ceremonies of the paralympics games to catch a charter helicopter trip from Whistler to the Vancouver Airport to catch an 18 hour flight to Georgia to attend a memorial service for the Georgian luger who died up here.
