I headed downtown with my friend to go check out things during a weekday. We were both hoping to come across shorter lineups. It was a clear day and not raining.
We started at GE Plaza at Robson Square. Circus West performed for half and hour and it wasn't too bad. I've taken these hand balancing classes before, so I know how difficult these poses are and seeing how young these kids are, I just wish that I found the sport earlier so that I would know how to do it.
We walked to the Bell Ice Cube and missed gold medalist Ashley McIvor by ~ 15 min. Bell has live interviews with Olympians at 3pm. We were in line and got in late, so only saw some former Olympians from 1988 or 1992, 2002 Olympics. I didn't know
who they were unfortunately. Maybe someone can help me out?We headed to LiveCity downtown and our wait was only about 10 min. The men's hockey game was supposed to be on at 430pm, so we wanted to get in before the hoards of fans did. There were no lines at both the Canada Pavilion and the Manitoba Pavilion.
Freestyle skiier Kristi Richards was signing autographs.
