Walking in Winnipeg I found another torch bearer on the top of the

Manitoba Legislature - Golden Boy (really gold), carrying a torch and a sheaf of wheat, is an icon here. I am attending Rendez Vous Canada, a trade show for buyers of Canadian product. It's wonderful to see our partners and to meet new travel industry folks who are keen on selling us in their markets.

Across from my booth (yes, I'm working) the Royal Canadian Mint features the Olympic Medals - Mounties are available for photos (you must wear white gloves to touch the medals). A steady stream of interested parties flow through to see, touch and be photographed with the beautiful medals. In retrospect I should have brought my torch to the booth. The Olympic memories live on!
