Let the games begin

The opening cermonies were fantastic. As we were sitting patiently waiting for them to begin the phone rang. It was Shona. "We are on our way. It is pouring with rain. We are on the Sea to Sky Highway with a police and helicopter escort! We only found out at 3 pm that we were coming!" The stadium erupted when the Canadian team walked on. The highlight was K.D Laing singing Halelujah.

The air here in vancouver is literally filled with with druming, shouts of joy and Canadian Pride.

Unfortunately the weather is too warm in Whistler and Shona's first event has been cancelled. So the hurry up and wait game is on. Still here is Vanvouver there are lots of interesting things too do. We are parents of the athletes are being treated well, beautiful hotel and tonnes of food. I like it.

Funny, the song by K D Lang was the part of the ceremony I fast forwarded. Glad Shona got to go to the ceremony. Must be incredible to be there!
How did you get tickets last minute to her events and to the opening ceremony? And how did accommodations work?

a couple of tailored Irish Prayers:

Dear Shona.

"May all that rain turn into wonderful em powdering snow to escort each of your Olympian 2010 experiences".

"May the slopes rise with you,
May the wind be at your back,
May the sun shine soft upon your face,
and until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand"

I hope you and your family are enjoying every moment of this amazing life experience. Congratulations for making it thus far!

love and Happy Valentines,

from the Irish Gypsy
