Olympic Spirit

Yes, even down here in the Baja we are excited!   It is so strange to not beable to just turn the tv on though!   Do be appreciative.  Most of the tv stations do not have international rights so we can not view events until they are over.  We are hoping to get to a local sports bar for tomorrows big game.


Here is an interesting note:

Having made it back to Vancouver just in time to celebrate the gold medal victory of Canada's women's hockey team, the prime minister Stephen Harper has a full day of Olympic events ahead of him.

This morning, he attends the women's slalom competition, and then pops by Canada Olympic House. Later today, he cheers on the women's curling team this afternoon, although he apparently wasn't able to persuade Wayne Gretzky to play hooky from his coaching duties and join him in the stands.* Instead, he'll attend the match with Canadian Forces reservist Captain Tylere Couture and Canadian Olympic Committee members, after which he joins Alexandre Bilodeau -- who won Canada's first gold medal of the Games last week -- for the men's and women's short track speed skating final.

As for the other party leaders, LIBERAL, Michael Ignatieff is still in somewhere in Vancouver, presumably -- his staff don't tend to keep us posted on his itinerary when it doesn't include public events – and NDP, Jack Layton joins members of Toronto's Muslim community for local prayers at Madina Masjid Mosque.

I leave you to your own opinion of who has the most Olympic Spirit……………we here in Mexico are planning on going into Loreto, by cab to watch the game. Please pray that we can pull this off………………..the excitement builds.


 
GO CANADA GO!!!!!!
