The Torch arrived in Vancouver today after spending 104 days in Canada already. Today marks the 105th day of the Olympic Torch Relay and tomorrow, the 106th, is also the last day of the relay where the cauldron will be lit at BC Place Stadium.
Just a few hours ago, after I got off my volunteer shift in downtown, I came back home and rushed off to UBC – having just missed two opportunities close to where I live, including Trevor Linden, darn!
All the way to UBC there were road closures so we had to keep taking detours on the bus. Once I got there, the rain was coming down in full force, and I wondered to myself whether this was a good decision or not. Nonetheless I was already there, and just had to see the torch at least once (well.. I already saw and held one today… maybe more on that later)!
By the time I got to University Blvd. the place was packed. Many people didn’t know the direction which it was coming from or going to, but fortunately I did, so I was able to scout out a spot along the route (where it was still empty!). Many people had Canadian flags, dressed in red and white, cowbells, etc. We waited more than half an hour in the rain before the first parade of policemen on motorbikes came by. Once the torch was in sight, I dropped my umbrella and just shot away! He went by a lot quicker than I thought, but seeing the flame was all worth it – it was an amazing experience to see the torch lit!
What a proud Canadian moment!

Sometimes a little photography can be therapeutic.
