Visiting Some More Olympic Venues

I met-up with Todd (on the left) this morning as he was on his way to returning a lost wallet to its rightful owner. A couple days ago while at work, he found this expensive Dunhill wallet. After some investigative work, Todd was able to track down Adrian, the owner who was in town working for the Olympics. In appreciation, Adrian offered the $25 which had been inside the wallet to Todd, but he turned it down. Adrian just couldn't believe the honesty and goodwill from Todd. He was so thankful and relieved to get his wallet back. Todd was just satisfied with the look of happiness on Adrian's face. Great job Todd, way to represent Vancouver and Canada!!! After Todd's good deed, we walked around downtown and that's when I ran into Nicole, Matthew, and Keenan! They were with another family checking-out the Olympic Cauldron. Man, how the kids have grown! Todd and I proceeded towards the cauldron, but we got distracted by this PBO! There it is! But it's behind a big fucken fence! Oh man, look at that ass! Todd pointing at the flames... My turn... Back to the PBO... See, the Olympics are a good thing. Walking along Coal Harbour where Todd's hair was on fire... Now, my index finger is on fire! Check-out all the security boats on patrol in the harbour! Todd appreciated this artwork, so he took a photo of it. Yelling, "Ihr seid verfluchte Hunde!" with Germany's Saxony House behind me... Todd's turn... Actually, it's the Vancouver Rowing Club. On the way to the house, look what we spotted in the water. It's magnum-sized condom! Hey, even Robert Burns has the Olympic Mittens! After a short wait in line, we finally got in to enjoy a pint of beer! I recognized Aida who was sitting in the corner of the patio! Oh my!!! "I am buzzed in the Saxony House!!!" We met with Julia after and we proceeded towards Robson Square. That's when we entered the line-up for the zip-line! After a little bit over 2 hours, we could see the tower! Time to get strapped-in... Todd was hung! "Fuck, let's do this!" "Who's scared?!?" We're finally up here! On deck... Here I go! I slid down with Taz, who was in town for work. She decided to extend her stay here to enjoy the Olympic experience! Posing with the others that were in line with us... "Yeah, we did it!!!" Before going home, I check-out LiveCity Downtown. As we were waiting for the zip-line, Alexandre Bilodeau became the first Canadian Olympian to win a GOLD Medal in Canada! Congratulations Alex!!!
