Headed Home

It was an early morning on our last day. We had to catch a bus back to Vancouver for our afternoon flight and with the precarious nature of Olympic traffic we needed to give ourselves plenty of time.

As we were leaving the village on the bus I spotted a sign in a restaurant window that represented the fun of the Olympics:

"Congratulations Jon Montgomery, Bring in your Gold Medal for a Free Burrito & Beer"

Our last Olympic experience was at the pin trading centre at the Airport. The kids got a hug from the CocaCola Polar Bear and placed one of their own pins on a world map in order to receive a new pin.

Then it was on to our flight for a trip back to reality.

Day Seven

This was our last full day of our Olympic Odyssey and our last event. We headed out early to catch the buses to the ski jumping venue which was located south of Whistler. The windy road did not sit well with Alex's stomach.

The Ski Jumping event was the Long Hill Qualification. As I have mentioned previously, Canada is no longer a strong contender in this event but the Qualification round did allow us to see some Canadian flyers. What was more entertaining though were the fans. The Polish particularly seem to be fanatic about Ski Jumping.

It was a great way to end our stay in Whistler.
