Vancouver Olympics: Day 5 Highlights

- Beautiful, chauffeured drive to Whistler, minus the rain. (Okay it was a decent coach bus)
- Toured Whistler village in a hurry, rode the gondola halfway up, breezed through security despite an accusation of having a cigar cutter in our bag (??)
- Took 70 pictures of ice, sometimes including the odd female luger. Blown away by the speed of these athletes from next to the track.
- Impressed by Dan Mangan, who exceeded my lofty expectations and earned his standing ovation in the intimate theatre - no question about it. A hearty handshake and autographed sealed the night with my new favourite singer. (Thankfully skipped out on the Alexisonfire disaster!)
- Marveled at the extent of the party at Granville and Robson considering the hockey team had only beaten Norway.
