Olympic happenings

During the Olympics there is lots going on around the city. There are marquees with the games being projected on that anyone can go to watch, and places that are different nations houses (pretty much just massive bars), free concerts, but there are massive lines for them so we haven't actually gone to any of them yet. We have however wandered around the city and seen some things.

We saw the Canadian Jump Rope team (look how fast her feet are!)

Some Natives and their art (thats actually what they call them)

This wasn't for the Olympics but we went anyway, it was a candy store with so many flavours of Jelly Bellys and so many colours of m&m's

And also we went to the NZ welcome party sponsored by Icebreaker. Sam met Larry the Lamb

So did Blake, but he wasn't so keen on him

And Sam also met John McBeth!!

We saw some Kapa Haka

Exciting. It made us feel like we were in NZ. They also had a band playing kiwi essentials such as Blue Lady, Why Does Love Do This to Me?, and of course Whaling.

Hopefully we'll get to do more Olympic things, and see some bands etc. Its pretty happening around here, we'd better get in on it.
