Yesterday was a very exciting day! The Olympic torch came through my home town, (Just one block from my house. Seemed like the whole town was gathered to watch this high energy ceremony. We were dancing, singing, screaming, waving Canadian flags and having SO much fun. The MCs really showed that they were really proud to be Canadian! Then, as we looked behind us, slowly but surly, the torch was making its way through the crowd. Everyone was ecstatic. They clapped and cheered, and even tears were flowing. The town chose a wonderful man, Herman Mauthier to light the cauldron. He had a smile that literately stretched from ear to ear. It was a very emotional day for him. An emotional day for everyone! This event got me siked up for the paralympics. Now i have a pretty good idea what thee nthusiam will be like. There has never been such a big event in Invermere as this and I was proud to be there, to enjoy this breath taking celebration!
bye for now
