OMG where do I begin....visited the BC Hydro House and got some great ideas for saving energy; checked out the Aboriginal displays and made note of the beautiful canoes; found a book on how Canadians are different; went to work where we watched the Womens Hockey final (Rah Rah Gold for Canada); cheered for Canada's Joannie Rochette (Bronze Medal)in Womens Figure Skating on TV while hearing Burton Cummings performing at the Victory Ceremony (he was like the Duracell Bunny - just kept going). Needless to say, I sang O Canada several times today!

Pin trading should be an Olympic sport...can't wear a pin without someone asking you to trade....


After work I was fortunate enough to visit Molson Hockey House (party central for the Games-hottest ticket around-sold out) with a pass from my Ontario colleague, Molson Marketing Guru Ferg Devins - lo and behold, who should be there but the Gold Medal Women's Hockey Team....extremely cool!
Thanks Ferg. We had a quick get together tonight to say goodbye to some of our volunteer team as they head home this weekend....what a great group of people - perhaps we'll meet in Sochi, Russia for the next Winter Olympics.
On my walk home I marvelled at my luck at being here and having the opportunity to experience so much!
In Keene, preparations are well under way for a sold-out Winemakers Dinner. Dave Eckert of Culinary Travels on PBS filmed a segment at the Resort...stay tuned for air date.
We will raise a glass (of Peruvian wine ...) to you while you are enjoying the Winemaker's Dinner in the elegant dining room at Elmhirst's this weekend. Best to all!
