A Golden Day 3!!!

Day 3 was a Golden Day thanks to Alex Bilodeau ...it was very exciting watching the moguls with a few hundred people in the ship's lounge. It was noisier than a Leaf's game (ha).
Yesterday was a typical Whistler day. Rain, wind, snow, sunshine, rain, snow, wet snow ...if you didn't like the weather you only had to wait 15 minutes and it would change ...thank you VANOC for the great Goretex Smurf outfits!!
Driving was uneventful yesterday ...I only picked up one group, but it was the Croation IOC member after they won Bronze in Biathalon. So I now have transported Gold, Silver and Bronze winning countries.
The ride back to the ship in Squamish was amazing last night. The skies cleared late in the day and the scenery with a setting sun was spectacular.
The best part of the Games is meeting people from all over the world ...people proudly display their country's colours in their jackets, hats, scarves, banners and face paint, but on the streets, in the bars and restaurants it is one big happy Olympic family.
The funniest part of the day happened in Starbucks ...two guys behind me were wearing identical grey jackets but their country was not identified. The young Aussie barista must have detected an accent and asked the two guys how they say "Thank you" in their language ...one guy replies "Thank You" ...we're American!
Today is an off day for me so I will be skiing this morning and then finishing some tax reports later in the day ...hopefully the ship's WiFi will be functioning better.
Have a Happy Family day!
