Thursday Feb 18th

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to my blog. It has been very busy around here. We have been working 12+ hour days. I did have a day off on Tuesday, but I went into work from 630 to 11 am. We were down a few teammates and my boss asked me to work. Of course I said yes.

Today was my first "real" day off. I slept in then went to a local mall. I did some shopping, picking up Olympic items for a few friends and family. I then went over the airport for dinner. Tonight I am staying in.

Saturday I have tickets to the medals ceremony. Should be lots of fun.

I saw Jerry Thornton again today. It is so nice to see folks from "home". The recycling that they have in this area is impressive. Everywhere I go, there are recycling bins. Each bin has pictures of what is acceptable. People actually seem to follow it as well. I am not referring only to the venues, but the malls, the airport, the skytrain stations and the hotel. It is like everywhere I turn around they have recycling available. I am looking forward to the day that our city does this.


Here are some photos from my venue and last few days.
