What an amazing time here in Vancouver! Bobsleigh in Whistler; hanging out in the city; 'doing' the Today Show; Figure Skating Exhibition and we will go to the Closing Ceremony tomorrow!

With a worrisome start to the trip (medics in the Philadelphia Airport) and a long trip out - we started out the trip tired! But the exhileration of climbing the bobsleigh course and watching the women athletes was a great way to start our time in Vancouver.

I have some videos of the start of the a few bobsleigh races that I will try to post.

Today (Saturday), Chris and I decided to try to get into the Figure Skating Exhibition and we did. For a great deal, we sat on the long side of the rink, not too far up and enjoyed an amazing event. As I posted to everyone on Facebook - where can you see so many medal winning figure skaters performing all at the same time? VERY exciting! And Chris got Scott Hamilton's autograph and a photo with him that I will post soon enough! (how cool is that!)

We met some fellow figure skater lovers on our way out of the venue and had the pleasure of hanging out with them, going to the flame with them and then to dinner. We are all here for the same reason - the Games! It is so great to be with people from all over the world, to share stories and to support the Games!!

I have a few videos of the skating that I will try to post.

Lots and lots more to write,
