In keeping with the countdown theme and seeing as the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics are right around the corner, I thought I'd post a pic of the official Olympic Timekeeper clock at the Vancouver Art Gallery. 66 days until the Olympics; 7 more days until Australia.Did you know that the clock was installed 3 years ago and has been defaced several times? I am going to the Olympics to several of the events, including luge and ski jumping at Whistler, speed skating at the Richmond Olympic Oval and hockey at UBC Thunderbird Arena. Will be great (went to World Speed Skating Championships last year with Huub, Geoff and Joanne- super!). But apparently no one will be able to get around the city. A student at UBC even wrote a musical composition called 2010 Traffic Jam. But we did get the Canada Line- 20 minutes to the airport by train.
Now I know the Aussies are a great sports loving nation. Cricket, rugby, Aussie rules "footy" and women's lacrosse!
