Sorry for the delay, but I have been amassing photos to put on here, and trying to sort and label them before I do so. Thanks to Adeline, Sandy, Marc and my mom, here are some photos of the Vancouver games for your viewing pleasure. This is the insider's look, with photos taken by real people who were actually at these places, checking out exhibitions, watching events (though very little since only rich tourist could afford tickets, I think!) and experiencing and enjoying the life and atmosphere in the streets!
Thanks to those of you who have posted some comments about the whole experience--I'm sure all the non-Vancouverites have enjoyed reading about them!!
