2010 Vancouver Olympics Games
We arrived last evening after hitting some bad end of the day traffic coming out of Seattle. It was a good drive up crossing the border without any difficulty. We used our GPS to locate the apartment and called Julie, our landlord, who met us out front. She took us into the underground parking space and then we got acclimated to the apartment and she took us to a Japanese restaurant for some international fare. We even got to teach Chris how to use chopsticks so she would not starve. Julie told us about the first tenants she had from Miami and who had left the day we arrived. They trashed her apartment, stole some perfumes, and some of her clothing. We will do our best to rectify the image of the ugly Americans. The apartment is located in a central spot downtown. It is just across from one of the nightly entertainment centers called Live City. It has a nightly stage and fireworks every night at 10:30 p.m. Today is a trip to Whistler and the Women’s Bobsled Finals. It is also our first test of the public transportation system. The picture attached is of our landlord Julie and Chris and Christina. Off to a rainy day.
