It has been the most amazing, incredible, extraordinary experience being in Vancouver for the Games. I could never have imagined anything like it. The whole feeling in the city has been joy and pride and FUN. The place was painted red, with shirts and face paint and temporary tattoos. There were so few problems with violence or disrespect or vandalism, or even litter. Of course there were zillions of police...but I only saw them asking folks to dump beers, or climb down off road signs and bus shelters... lol, good ideas, really.
Last night, people wandered the streets downtown, high-fiving people. I kid you not, we spent HOURS high-fiving everyone, and seeing if we could find anyone who wouldn't give a high-five. Wasn't possible. Everyone, of every colour and religion and age, even the police, were happy to give a high five. Now THAT says something about this show we put on.
I did not know we had it in us. I really, really didn't.
Go, Canada, Go.
