The last day of the Olympics. Karen and I headed downtown hoping to find a place to watch the Gold Medal Men’s Hockey Game. We were downtown two hours before the game…way way way too late to get into any place to watch. All pubs and restaurants showing the game were full, with line ups outside that would fill them again.
I heard about this video the other day! This is the sound of a city cheering as Canada won the Gold in Men’s Hockey at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. You can hear why we want to be in the centre of town for the game! (posted on youtube by “vancouver1907”)
So…we weren’t actually in downtown for that. We had to skytrain back to Burnaby to my local pub to watch. However, while walking around looking for somewhere to go, I snapped a few pictures…
The first couple of images of the rcmp playing road hockey are taken from the edge of a large crowd walking behind me to the security check for the Gold Medal game.
I think this was all staged for the camera you can see in the left side of the second picture…
