Return to Blogland!
Hello Everyone!
Well it seems I'm very slow at this blogging thing....I'm hoping to post more often now!
We had a pretty uneventful January, a lot of lead up to the Olympics for me as I work for RBC (one of the main sponsors). Shawn was also very busy at work as he works in the beer industry and they are definitely in demand right now;)
Now that the Olympics are here it's been pretty incredible! At first I wasn't all that enthused about Vancouver hosting such a big event but now that they're here it's been alot of fun. People are smiling at each other on the streets and just generally being friendlier, it's very different from the Vancouver we're used to! Shawn and I haven't been to any events (can't afford it) but we have gone downtown to check out the scene and just soak everything in. We're hoping to go a few more times before the Games end. I've taken a bunch of pictures and will post them in a few more days.
The Olympics are certainly a great vehicle to showcase our city in it's entirety. I hope that the international coverage shows a clear picture of the poverty, homelessness and drug abuse in our city as much as it shows the beauty here. I truly hope that the legacy of this time will work to improve our city and not just sweep the ugly parts under the rug. I guess time will tell..
Pictures to come!
