Ice-skating

One of the most enjoyable events during the Olympics was Jason and I 's trip (okay, 15 min on the skytrain) down to the O-zone in Richmond. After wandering a bit, we found the ice-skating rink with cash in hand. For a loonie each, we rented ice-skates and sped around the outdoor trail. Jason was a pro! I was so impressed.

We also took in a bit of a show at the mainstage that night. Have to say that Huxley Workman's interludes between songs were much better than the music at this one.

Lastly, we also glimpsed the famous Heineken House with its infamous 2 to 4 hour waits for entrance. The big orange tent was impressive, as was the line. Rumor had it that it boasted bikes for easy transport for Dutch fans to and from the House and the long-track speed-skating rink in Richmond. All for a brew with hundreds of people you don't know.
