Whistler

It was still dark when we left the hotel this morning at 5:45am.  We had a lovely brisk 15 min. walk to the Sky Train which took us to the bus that took us to the bus to Whistler (yes, there were 2 buses).  2 hours and 15 mins of beautiful scenery later (or so I was told since I slept most of the way) and we were there.  We arrived at the Ski Jumping venue at about 9:30am and our  General Admission - Standing tickets means standing for 3 hours on ice.  Finally they started jumping and it was exciting.  They move the jumpers along very quickly and the fan support was good.  I did sit on Ryan's coat on the ice for a while but it was cold.  The weather was really exceptional.  Sunny and 2 degrees (Celcius people - we are in Canada).  We only stayed for the first round when it looked like it was going to be a blow-out.  I did stay awake for the bus ride back to Vancouver it was really pretty.  We also took a different way back to the hotel and got to take the ferry across a body of water but I have no idea what body of water it was.
Tonight we are going to rest and watch some of the other Olympic events in our room...I'm soooo tired.
Here are some pictures of our day!
