Theo and Ben are taking a day off of blogging, so I'm doing a guest post. They're sitting here in the hotel room, eating muffins and watching Olympic Women's Curling. It's a rough life for them.
Yesterday we had a tremendous day. We took a train to Granville Island, which is an open market here in Vancouver. It was full of great food and neat shops and art. We had lunch there (veggie burgers - yum!) and just as we were leaving, two Canucks on stilts stopped us. I think they could sense Theo's inner performer, because they pulled him out of the crowd and had him sing The Star Spangled Banner. Yes, in front of everybody. He performed beautifully and made all U.S. onlookers very proud (he remembered all the words!)

We left Granville Island and headed off to Short Track Speedskating. We were thrilled to see Apolo Ohno win his heat and we also got to see the women set four Olympic records and one world record! The Women's 3000 m. relay was so exciting. China took gold, Canada silver and the U.S. bronze. Korea actually won the race, but, with the perplexing rules of speedskating, were disqualified after the race. Very exciting stuff!

Today we have no plans, but are hoping to catch the US/Canada final Women's Hockey game on TV somewhere. This, as you can imagine, is a HUGE deal here.
Have a great day!
