Canada's awesome men's team just beat the equally-awesome Team USA to win the gold medal--a fact that not only makes a lot of Canadians ecstatic, but also gives our country the all-time record for most gold medals won at a winter Olympic games. Like, whoa. Go team!
I live in the Olympic city. This is what downtown Vancouver looks like at this moment. The noise beggars description; Vancouver is roaring.
Lots of random happy people:
Robson Street:
They call us tree-huggers for a reason, you know.
I wish I'd gotten a better shot of these guys' awesome maple leaf turbans:
More random happy people:
Two guys riding down the zipline:
The river of red and white:
More random happy people:
With random happy puppets:
The heart of the celebration (the crush of the crowds got scary-intense up here, so we didn't go much farther):
Yay, Team Canada! But also kudos and congratulations to Team USA for their brilliant performance and their silver medal.
I shall not lie: you guys had us pooping out mason blocks.
