Well, we made it back from Vancouver where we had an amazing time. Once I get some time, I'll tell you all about the trip, but give me a few days to get caught up with life here. Here's a disappointing confession: I took very few pictures. And, most of the pictures I took were not for me. So, you'll get some Olympic pictures, but not as many as I'd like. Now, let me tell you about this picture.
This is an Olympic torch.
Yes, an authentic Olympic torch.
I saw quite a few of these while in stores, Olympic venues, street party locations, etc. In several of these places, people were allowed to touch them and take pictures of them. But, every single one of those I saw were unused. This is one of the used Olympic torches which ran across Canada and were cheered by thousands and thousands. This particular torch was used in West Kelowna on January 25th. And yes, that is my wife running with it as well. It was an amazing experience getting to see and touch one of the torches.
