No sure why, Rebecca. This is just a list but am quite overwhelmed reading this. I can imagine the reality of the flames coming to Vancouver. I had always wanted to attend an Olympic since I was a boy. This is like a dream come true. I have a feeling this Olympic is going to move a lot of Canadian … me especially. Enjoyed your postings always.

I saw someone playing with one of the torches at the IBC building the other day.. wonder which leg of the journey they had it from as it was clearly carried the flame at one point.
According to a colleague that has carried the torch already, it’s EXTREMELY bad to wipe away the carbon from the torch.
Amazing that this information is made public with all the protests surrounding the poor torch. Can’t wait! Am already clearing calendar in order to attend Lonsdale Quay and LiveCity torch happenings! Thx for posting 🙂
