Olympics Day 2

Today was much less structured than yesterday. My plan was to wander around downtown then head out to UBC Thunderbird Arena to catch fans coming in for the Canada-Slovakia women’s hockey game. Then for back downtown to check out the public viewing sites.

I wandered around downtown for a while until I stumbled upon Meet the Mascots on Ice. Afterwards I hopped on a bus to get to the arena and I soon found out the game was actually downtown, almost where I left from. So it was back to the bus and pop into to the apartment for a quick dinner then on to a downtown viewing area. After a 20 minute wait, to get through security and inside, I missed the end of the game. The crowd had dispersed after the game finished. It did pick up when they started showing the Women’s Freestyle Finals. In the end they were disappointed to see American, Hannah Kearney beat out Canadian, Jennifer Heil for the Gold.
