Team USA Volunteers
It's amazing how athletes get in the sleigh. It's very narrow and cramp. This is stationed in the middle of Whistler Olympic Village. There are always lines of tourists waiting to take a picture here.
The Olympic Rings are next to the Olympic Medal Stage. Look for the flame in the middle of this picture.
I wish that I could get a picture right in front of the Olympic Rings, but there are just so many people.
Every night after work Kathy and I go back to the village to have dinner. We have discovered local hangouts that are very delicious and reasonably inexpensive. Unfortunately, Lynn works at the sliding venue and has a different schedule. Kathy and I have been exploring together. The weather has been perfect and the nights are very clear and crisp. We do window shopping and bought very few souveniers. We don't stay out too long because we don't care to be with the hundreds, if not thousands who come to party every night. So far we have avoided the drunk party goers. Lynn says that when she walks through the village past midnight, people are seriously crazy. They try to kiss her.
Kathy and I are generally home by 8:00pm so that we can watch the Olympics and get to bed by 10ish. I get up around 6:00am. I wish that I had more energy to stay out longer.

It sounds like fun and what an opportunity to meet new people, see new places AND have a meaningful place to volunteer and feel connected. Way to go, Arlene! Hurray!!!!
