Wednesday-Sightseeing & Victory Ceremony

Started out kind of late on Wednesday....it was nice to just sleep in! We did take a short trip to a local mall to search for the elusive red mittens. No luck, but we're still trying. After a short train ride downtown, we decided to walk over to the Olympic flame. Today there were very few people about, so we were able to get a decent picture.



We also saw the Olympic rings out in the bay. I think they're probably prettier at night, but still neat to see.

Later Wednesday night we also had a victory ceremony. This time we got to see the Canadian Mounties raise the Olympic flag.

Medals were awarded in women's speed skating and the local crowd was definitely excited to see one of their own receive the bronze.

Then a concert by INXS. Definitely better than the first victory ceremony, as we actually knew most of the music by this band.
