One thing that I did not expect to see in this winter Olympics is that people all around us are proud to carry the Canadian flag on them. Everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE I go, I see Canadian flags. You see them on the street, cars, in the mall, in a dental clinic and even painted on people's face. It unites all the Canadians and seems to bring everyone closer together. We are in the last week of the Olympics and have seen many photos of our cool Downtown on Facebook. What's better to do than to be in part of the action! This is Anders and Ali on our way to LiveCity Yaletown.
Everyone is dressed in red or have some form of the Canadian flag on them.
Many street performances along the way. Here is my favorite one:
When we finally got there, this is the lineup getting in:
Alright. I guess we are not going to LiveCity. The line up is just ridiculous! The backup plan is to walk around and soak in all the Olympic spirit and the excitement around us. We wanted to take a picture of the torch in the Coca Cola pavilion, but we pretended we are in Switzerland instead.
Lame. Yes, I know. We are perfectly aware taking a pic in the Swiss Alps is not very Olympic at all, so we went to the Yahoo Fancouver site to take more "pretend pics".
We have never seen so many people in Downtown Vancouver before. It is just amazing to be in the city during this time. Unbelievable.

If you have not been to downtown yet, you better do it soon. Don't miss out! It's totally worth the time! Go Canada, go!
