I'm a big Olympics fan because countries are together for healthy, happy, wholesome competition. I find myself so thrilled for whomever wins although having a personal response does contribute to that, like the story of the Chinese gold winners in Pairs figure skating who had to leave their families as children to learn it, watching the Canadians proudly sing their anthem song on their own soil, and of course watching any USA athlete give it his/her "all" for us! Very fun!
Canada is a beautiful country. Our honeymoon in 1972 was an amazing RV trip from southern California, up the coast to Canada, enjoying the Parks, wild animals, & sights all across it to Quebec, then quickly down to the Florida Keys where we were almost late for DH s new job. Only 4 years ago, we spent a few days in Vancouver so vividly remember Grouse Mt, Stanley Park, Whistler's Mt, the north rainforest with the swinging rope bridge and of course, the city. It's fun to hear NBC tell and show all those places.
