This is beside the hotel I work at. Every time I see it I want to put my hand on my heart.
The games were tremendous for the city, the morale of Vancouver and Canadians everywhere. 
Most were critical of the games and the burdens that came with them. But for a few weeks everyone forgave and forgot and joined in the best celebration of sport and Canada. Not only did we win a record amount of medals, where women dominated the podium but we threw a hell of a party. Many who have participated in many other Olympic Games commented that this was the best so far.
I was lucky enough to be in Turin for the 2006 games and the energy and enthusiasm here exceeded my expectations. Way to go Canada. You showed class, humour, hospitality and who we really are. 
We went the Men's Curling Qualifying game. It was so exciting, that I never really though....zzzzzz. Sorry but I didn't understand it much. That's probably why I wasn't that excited. I did learn about the Hog lines, draws and hammers.
