Gearing up to the Olympics

Wow, it's been a long time since I last posted. Things with the apartment are just getting organized. We've had our floors replaced but there are still things that need to be dealt with. It's been about a month and a half already!

On a more positive note, my rabbits, Royce and Abby are happy and back living together. It was a lot of work but I'm glad that things worked out in the end.

On my lunch break last Thursday, I went for a walk down Georgia street to get to the mall. I've never seen so many people on Georgia street. There is a definite buzz around town with the Olypmics quickly approaching at the end of next week. I decided to take a detour down Robson street on my way back to the office. I stopped by the Canada Pavillon that was set up at Robson Square. I heard a band playing and decided the head down the stairs to see what was going on. There was a skating rink and a live band. They even had these yellow cushions available to sit on. I've posted some pictures.

It seems like all of the stores have also just put out loads of new Olympic merchandise. I went into Aritzia this afternoon and there were 3 sections of Olympic clothing. London Drugs also had massive amounts of Olympic t-shirts, flags, keychains, pins...you name it, they had it. I've never experienced anything like this. Park Royal shopping mall was decorated with maple leaves and there were many cars in the parking lot with Canadian flags clipped onto the windows.

I can't wait to see what next week brings! I'll be sure to keep you all posted!
