Vancouver Olympics: Day 1 Highlights

- Dashing out to Robson Street (a block away) to snap some pics of the torch relay, since the previous night's photos hadn't turned out in the dark... and rain.

- Checking out the 3D-BC theatre on the fourth floor after having toured the Vancouver Art Gallery free.

- Not being overly impressed with the opening ceremonies, until I realized 3 hours had passed and I hadn't noticed.

- Frantically tossing on boots, and no socks, after seeing Gretzky was headed our way. Stomping down the street at high speed with hundreds of other jubilant Canadians to reach the waterfront in time to take in the freshly lit torch, before the sky exploded!

- Revisiting the beloved Vancouver Railway Club (established 1931) for a couple homegrown talents from Saskatchewan, including Rah Rah!
