Canada - English
A beautiful setting for a unique international "get-together".
These are two of my favorite weeks every four years... the Winter Olympics. I determined not to stay up so late every night since, for the first time ever, we could DVR the whole evening. But nearly every night found us still watching at midnight! Now I can go back & watch some of my favorites over again.
The amount of practice & discipline that goes into every sport is amazing!
I loved the variety of events they aired this year, interspersed with just enough "human interest" to actually be interesting.
My favorite has always been the figure skating (dreamed of being a skater when I was growing up, skating on frozen ponds in Indiana...) And this year was enigmatic! Such beauty & skill combined, performances that were unique, & costuming that was dazzling.
Thank you, Canada, for being such wonderful hosts! And I'm proud of your athletes that KNEW & sang your beautiful national anthem!
When we went to Vancouver a couple of years ago, we found it to be our favorite mega city we had ever visited!
Watching the American athletes & their attitudes was very rewarding...
makes me proud to be an American!
Only four more years until we "meet" again!

Vancouver/BC is on my "To Visit" list. It looks amazing -
CPQ should go to Vancouver. For it IS amazing. And it's fairly close to moi, which is even better. I didn't get to watch the games as much as I wanted to, but enjoyed them all the same. We have so many Canadians at my church, and just around Seattle in general...I kinda felt like it was even closer than the 160 mile distance.
