First off, what a game! John watched it in his hotel room. Lucky he didn't turn it off after time expired because Montreal won after a penalty on Sask with no time remaining. It was good to see Montreal win after so many failures ion Grey Cups lately, but it was sad to see Sask lose in the way they did.
Earlier in the day... I worked on the blog while John slept in. Afterward he took the camera and took the shuttle and SkyTrain into Vancouver. It was so overcast that apart from the mountains that John saw from Gerald's place one day he hasn't seen one here. That must have coloured his perception.
He arrived downtown and could not find a visitor's centre and no one knew where to find one. He spent the three hours he did have starting off with a good breakfast in a Crepe place. Then he started just wandering around the downtown in the drizzle. He walked Robson and Granville Streets and several blocks on either side until he arrived down at the waterfront.
He was about to come back when he saw a Tourist Info place. They were at least able to show him how to get back on the SkyTrain. Arriving back at the airport for the shuttle he waited for an hour and only just made it back in time for the big game.
He was abe to talk to Gail and was able to watch the Amazing Race to see his favourite team, the Globetrotters get eliminated.
All in all, not the best fo days. But then, some days are diamonds and some are stones.

Hey John - the Grey Cup game was a huge disappointment (and embarassing) for us Sask. fans. Most of us do know how to count, really!
ReplyDeleteYes it was sad because the crowd who were cheering so loudly for Sask completely drowned out Kavis Read the special teams coach who was trying to get the extra player off the field.
