We went for dinner to a pizza place the other night, and got to sit right next to the oven .... it was huge!
Whistler is so gorgeous, even though it's been raining (and melting the current snow), and what snow is on the ground is 'dirty' looking -- but Hailey assures me it'll snow (and snow and snow) before the Games, so it'll all look pretty and white.
What they're calling the 'Look of the Games' is appearing everywhere...
Construction of the 'Celebration Plaza' (where the Whistler-based events medals will be handed out) is not complete, and they are working feverishly on that ...
Hailey says these little 'pods' of 'beezlebubs' (her word!) have been appearing all over town in the past few weeks...
I reminded her that those folks are among the thousands of volunteers who make the Games possible, and that I'm one of them, and I'll look just like that, starting tomorrow, which is my first shift. (I still haven't got her to take that pic of me in my uniform, maybe tomorrow morning!)
Life in the Village looks like it always does, Olympics or not ...
But at night it is absolutely magical here...
I'll post again after my first shift!

Thanks for sharing your experiences here -- hope your first shift goes well.
