In the hood...

So... guess what came through my neighborhood today? Not something you see every day that's for sure. The Olympic Torch Relay was a block from my house. The boy, Ginger and I walked over to take a gander... I thought we'd see someone run past and then we'd go home. It was so much more than that! There is a large entourage that travels with the torches. Sponsor vehicles that hand out free stuff, Police of course, in cars and on bikes and on foot (one of my nephews is a police officer and is volunteering as a torch guard, he ran with the torch bearer in Nunivut and will again in West Vancouver), helicopters over head, a bus to drop off the next runner and a bus to pick up the one that just finished. As it turned out we were at a hand off point and my son took a terrific picture of the new torch being lit. It was all-in-all a very exciting morning. Now back to my regular knitting content... still working on Mara.
