2010 Olympic Torch Relay

We had the chance of a lifetime yesterday of joining in the festivities of the torch relay when it arrived here in Picton, on its way to Vancouver, BC.
We checked out the various exhibits on display and picked up some free stuff. My walker is now adorned with flashing Activity pins, Canadian flags and Olympic flags. There was two hours of entertainment including dancers, singers and bands.
After an hour spent out in the winds and freezing weather, we managed to find a warm spot inside the Community Center to sit and watch the festivities on the big screen, and enjoy a hot coffee. We made a dash back out beside the grandstand when the flame arrived, and joined in all cheering and excitement.



I spent the remainder of the day snoozing and trying to get my brain to quit shuddering.  It seems to be back on track this morning!
