Good Morning! It's me, Sara the Goodyear Blimp Lady again! A few more days spent in the stunning city of Vancouver with some of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. The people of Canada are welcoming and gracious, and so proud to have the Olympics in their home. One of the greatest things about the Olympic Games is they bring people from all over the world together, and it’s a beautiful sight to see.
Wow, what a whirlwind the last few days have been; but what an exciting experience. While heading to work on Friday, we witnessed the Olympic Torch Relay, and even had the chance to take a photo with the torch in downtown. (I'm the one in the red!)
We also had the chance to visit Granville Island and enjoyed fresh seafood and delectable pastries from the public market, and even had the chance to stop inside the official merchandise superstore. These red mittens are the hottest item at the games this year – with the Olympic rings on one side and the Canadian maple leaf on the other! All of those selected to carry the Olympic flame have been wearing them and spectators are buying them like they’re going out of style…and believe me, they’re not! So, of course, I have a pair as well.
Last night we had the chance to watch the Opening Ceremony on TV…like everyone else. During the introduction, you were able to see some of the breathtaking shots Goodyear captured of the countryside; and throughout the Opening Ceremony, NBC featured some amazing aerials of downtown taken by the Goodyear team. Hope you enjoy our view of the Games and I’ll talk to you soon!
