Now that must really be something to see live and in person! I hope you get a good spot with a perfect view.

I have been to three torch appearances and loved them all.

It's a very moving and communal feeling with all the people in attendance.

Have fun and take pictures.

I will take pictures for sure.unfortunately the vehicle carrying a live stream of the relay isn't running today,will tomorrow,so I guess the only way anyone will see it here is to go and see it live.It may be on the news tonight.

Are you sure the torch is in Canada?

I don't see any igloos and they just ran past a McDonald's in Oshawa!:confused:;)

Wait, they only have igloos where Slick lives.

Never mind.;)

The coolest thing were the high fives that some runners gave to each other..

Also, I noticed at each hand-off they posed the participants as if to take a photos! Was that the case?
:cool:


I also noticed that that the officials let traffic by on the oncoming lane! Well done, Canada!, looks like you have everything in hand!
