Curling

We have been incredibly lucky with the beautiful weather until today.  It was misting out as we walked to breakfast at Tim Horton's before getting to the Sky Train.  The Sky Train left us in the middle of a random neighborhood where we had to walk a half mile through strange little houses to get to the Vancouver Olympic Center. 

We had to wait outside for almost an hour before getting inside.  We were all treated to a group singing songs about curling (they just changed words to popular songs to make them curling related).  Inside the place was a giant tent with a little rink inside and once again no bathrooms - only port-a-potties.  Making our way to our seats (last row of rickety bleachers) you could see the 4 sheets where the action was to occur. 

I still have very little idea what happened mostly because I was bored out of my mind.  The only somewhat interesting part was the last 4 stones.  It was crazy to see how the Canadians got every stone where they wanted.  They were so far ahead the Chinese conceded after 7 of 10 ends.  The Canadian fans were really into it and happy to see their team go to 9-0 so far.
I did get to see the best PANTS of the Olympics:

Team Norway with the Crazy Pants award!  The Canadian fans even got a "Nice Pants Nor-way" chant going and one of the players even raised his broom to them.
The event was at 2pm and we didn't leave until 4:30pm.  We had tickets to the night event at 7pm but I didn't want to stand outside in the rain for 2 hours just to watch Women's Curling. 
We headed back to the hotel and grabbed dinner and delicious cupcakes and are going to watch some Olympics on TV.
