The Olympic Torch in Our Town


At 7:30am we hit the local diner for breakfast and then went out into the frigid
(-20C with the windchill) morning air to wait for the Torch.
The van reads -
106 Days
45,000 kms
12,000 Bearers
Check out the website for lots more wintery torch photos that will give you the shivers


The kids ran alongside the unknown (to me anyways) Torch Bearer

It was a thrill to see the flame up close



Onward to Vancouver
