Steve's last duty day, he suggested we go to Vancouver. So on Friday, we headed for the border. There was only a 5 minute wait and we were headed for the sky train.
The parking lots were full ... what to do? A block from the sky train there was a Costco. With membership comes privileges. We parked in their lot, jumped on the sky train, and we ended up at the flame and the heart of the city.
Every street held excitement. People were everywhere and the languages in abundance.Waits and lines were everywhere.
On this particular street, there were many examples of various art and sculptures.
Steve and I posed in front of the totem poles...and Starbucks coffee shop.
We waited in line for an hour, met a family from Washington, DC, and waited until it was our turn to have our picture with the Olympic flame in the background.It was fun to see it up close. Made of glass not metal which was a surprise to us.
It was Steve's idea to pose in the huge cut outs. He got all set and I took the picture. He seemed to fit a little better than....I did in this cut out...
We finished off the day, enjoyed the sights, missed a lot, waited in lines,....all and all...it was another great day together. And how I praise God for another get away together.
The flame extinguished...it was a great suggestion for a Duty day.
