On Friday I attended the Olympic Opening Ceremonies and as  a good Canadian I went to the Bay ahead of time and bought some Olympic T-shirts & fleece jackets – plus the customary (and hard to find) Fuzzy red official Torch Relay mittens!  I was prepared to go into the stadium in nice jeans and my gear.

But then I was told I was attending an Olympic business luncheon before and had to dress Business Casual.  I was also told the limo was cancelled as the streets were shut down so I had to somehow combine business casual, with Olympic Gear, with shoes that I could walk 5 or 6 blocks in –oh and it will likely be raining.

Ok, that’s a tall order.  So what do you think?  Did I pull it off?

The Olympics are Here!!!!

I am so excited, in a few hours I will be heading to a cocktail luncheon downtown, then off to the Olympics Opening Ceremonies.  Some of my friends where at the rehearsal and they said it is going to be spectacular.  I am so excited and so lucky to be able to attend.  I will let you know what it was like, and see if I could sneak some photos for you.

The city has road closures all over the place and lots and lots of people, but the mood is really good and really alive.  You can walk down any street in and around the downtown area and hear people laughing.

Almost every night there is some celebration as well.  This Sunday (for Valentine’s Day) we’re going to the Olympic Medals Award Hand out, then Nelly Furtato (Canadian Singer) is doing a small concert.  I am trying to get tickets to INXS but haven’t been able to get them so far.

Anyway, what a great way to come home from JV Alert and all the fantastic people I met there.

Gotta go – try to figure out how to wear my Olympic fleece mittens, scarf and jacket with cocktail wear.  A girls dilemma!

All the best, Stefanie
