Today the sun was shining and out came the people! Yesterday there were lots of people walking the streets, most of whom were probably tourist since they did not let the rain stop them from enjoying Vancouver, but today it was shoulder to shoulder people and my guess is that it was because the locals came out to see what was going on before having to go to work on Monday.
It was great to see how well what could be called a “crowd” behaved, lots of smiles and people being polite to each other; no pushing or shoving, just masses of people moving en mass in various directions. The Olympic flame burning at the north end of the new convention center was a big attraction and it is good to know that it will remain in place for many years to come.
When it came time to head back to the North Shore we expected a delay in getting on the Seabus but even that was a pleasant surprise. We had a two sailing wait but with a Seabus coming every ten minutes it was a breeze.
Canada built it and the WORLD came!
