Well 2 days left, now it is starting to get sad realizing that all the great friends I have made will soon all go back to their own lives as will I. I have met so many great people this month, I will miss them all very much.

Yesterday was pretty uneventfull, people watched for a few hours, saw a great band play in the village, and then went out clubbing with my friends.
Today we catered a party for the Vancouver Organizing Committe (VANOC) or also known as the smurfs, for 800 of the volunteers who work at our venue. It was a fun party, simple and a very nice night.

I have some pictures of the village and various people as well as the smurf party and the crowd at biathalon and some pictures of our work compound check them out at http://picasaweb.google.com/pieshops1/UntitledAlbum02

Bobsled and Friends













Well I am in the home stretch, I had today and Thursday off then 3 last days at work and then home on Monday. I will be very glad to see my kids and wife, but will miss this place and the people alot, it has no doubt become part of who I am.

Went to see the final 2 runs of the womans 2 person bobsled and got to see the USA take home a Bronze Medal, it was pretty cool and the first time I have witnessed firsthand a USA medal win. The bobsled is so exciting to watch and got to see a few flips ( no one got hurt though). Hopefully thursday night I will get tickets for the medal ceremony and see them get their medal and also maybe a USA medal in the Womans Giant Slalom Combined which will be run during the day Thursday. Here are more pics http://picasaweb.google.com/pieshops1/Womans2PersonBobsledFinal

Went out tonight for some Sushi (sorry family) and then out to party a bit as this town was going nuts with the Gold and Silver for Canada in the 2 woman bobsled and also Canada winning medals in speed skating, short track speedskating, and a local from here in Whistler winning the Gold Medal in Womans Ski Cross along with the Canada Men winning their hockey game against Russia.
Thursday is a huge day with the gold medal game USA vs Canada for womans hockey. It will be insane around here, and the anticipation is growing for a possible showdown in mens hockey USA vs Canada on Sunday.

And finally and album of friends having fun. http://picasaweb.google.com/pieshops1/Friends#

Ski Jump


2 Cross Country Skiiers from Japan

These 2 pics are the front of the house night crew I work with, what a great group of people from USA, Australia, France, New Zealand and Canada.






This pic is of Josh (from Canada) on the left who works with me during the day and night and Pedro ( from Angola and Portugal) and Jessie ( from Canada) who both work the morning and lunch shift.
I watched some of the medal round on the large ski jump hill and all I can say is wow. These guys fly over one and a half times the length of a football field, amazing. It was a beautiful day, sunny, warm, and in the high 50's so there are a few interesting pictures in my photo album from today ( you will know them when you see them).

There are also pics of some cross country skiiers ( I have know idea who they were other then some were from Japan).

And lastly but not least there are some pictures of some of my co workers and new friends who work the dinner shift with me, represented are USA, Canada, Australia, France and Portugal/Angola. Check them all out at http://picasaweb.google.com/pieshops1/LargeHillSkiJumpingAndWorkFriends.

Hockey Baby







Today was a long but unbelievable day. Got up at 4 am to get a 5:00 bus to Vancouver, arrived at 8, and took a walk and found the olympic flame, it was very cool to see. While wondering decided to go and have some breakfast and found myself in the same mall food court we ate at years ago when we cruised to Alaska from Vancouver, very weird, brought back a lot of good memories.
I then walked about 45 minutes to meet the man I contacted on craigs list to purchase my hockey ticket, we exchanged cash for ticket and I was on my way.

I got to the arena around 10 for a noon game and just walked around and took it all in. The game was what I expected it to be and so much more, it really makes you patriotic to see all the red, white and blue and USA gear, there were a few Norwegian fans there and added to the Canadians who were rooting for Norway just because, the crowd was split about 60/40 for the USA.
The game was more or less a blowout, the USA won 6-1, but I am so glad I went to this game, my seats were 10 rows off the ice and I got some great pics and you can check them all out at http://picasaweb.google.com/pieshops1/HockeyVancouver .
After the game I boarded a 4:00 bus back to Whistler and arrived around 7:30 just in time to watch the end of the Canada - Switzerland game ( which was right after the USA game). What a game, Canada won 3-2 in a shootout. So now we just wait for the showdown on Sunday for the USA - Canada game, the winner I think gets a bye in the next round, it will be an exciting day.

There is not much happening in the next few days so I may not post anything but I will be back soon.

Well I got tickets for mens hockey USA vs Norway on Thursday so I will give a report when I get back.

Today was uneventful, not much to report.

I will have some pics up when I return from Vancouver tommorow.

For some reason my videos keep getting pulled down so I guess it is pictures from here on out.
