With the spring-like weather here, you would never guess that there are some Winter Olympic games going on just a few miles away.
However, one look at the ferry overflow parking lot would give you an idea that something must be going on. This is winter here, and normally the ferries are running (if they are not cancelled altogether) at very light volumes. In years past, I have been on late ferries with less than 10 vehicles on them. This lot never has a car in it, let alone having no space at all available. Suddenly all that has changed, as people who are not even necessarily going to the games are heading to Vancouver to join in the party. I guess we could hop on the ferry and join in the fun, but we have never been much on fighting our way through crowds. So for now we will continue to just watch it all on the tube.
This week has been nothing less than spectacular here, with blue sky and sunshine every day. The air is so clear that you can easily see the mountains across the strait. We definitely picked a great time to be back on the island.
