This is Coal Harbor, with a view that is worth perhaps a couple thousand words. Yes, Vancouver, British Columbia is perhaps one of my favorite places in the whole world - and don't tell anyone this - but I really could see us living here. But the reason for our visit is not for scouting purposes, but rather for the 2010 Winter Olympics!
The Peace Arch marks the border between the US and Canada... Stating in the most politically correct of manners, "Children of a common mother." Guess that makes the US the rebellious one.
Christie is working for the Olympic Broadcast Service, which is owned by the IOC. Her job will be as a studio commentator / segment producer covering mostly snowboarding and freestyle skiing. Her network will be producing a new show every half hour from 10am until 1am every day of the Olympics. NBC has the right to broadcast it in America, although they will also be doing their own coverage. Christie actually works in the same building as all of them (BBC, NBC, CTV) and can't say much other than expect many a fake fire place on set.
Andiamo rigazzi!!!
My job will simply be to soak it all in, so expect the blog to be fired up over the next month. My early money is on the US... As a Canadian has never won gold on his or her own soil... But expect that to change soon!
The only problem is that the weather has been so nice (almost 60F) that with all the water and beaches many people are thinking this will be the Summer Olympics!
So until next time... Cheers, eh!
