A very exciting, exhilarating experience for visitors to Vancouver is a FREE Zip line starting at Art Gallery about 6 levels high and zipping across the Robson Square to The Sears block. The premier tested it yesterday and declared it Fantastic :>) I predict along with everyone else that it will be a huge success. In Robson Square also there will be an open air ice rink as the square is to be flooded. Something old is new again. Steve Podborski , an Olymic down hill skier ,one of the Crazy Canucks in 2002 ,will carry the Olympic Flame to Whistler today.
The last shipment of Olympic mittens will be arriving this week so get yours now:>)
Not that you will need mittens to keep your hands warm, the temperature was 12' C today, very warm for winter. As the snow creates havoc in the eastern part of the continent Vancouver basks in record temperatures and we have had to limit the Olympic training on the half pipe to 3 days a week to maintain the integrity of the slopes.
Did you know that Vancouver has the best Chinese food in the world according to Conde Nast..so eat your heart out while you are here!!
There are 400 free bikes available at Holland House to encourage everyone to Go Green. I wonderhow many they will get returned LOL>
World media types are starting to arrive and checking out the city. Some things good, some not so good. We love this ciy no matter what they say, it is a beautiful place to live. I have spent my life here and do not want to live elsewhere. A Testimonial....
