Robson Street was the busiest I have ever seen it. The opening ceremonies were tonight, and the street was buzzing with people all decked out in their Canada gear beforehand. Every few minutes, I would hear someone going "whooooo" and would look up to see them whizzing by on the zip lines. CTV was broadcasting the news from the street, so there were tons of people jockeying for a chance to wave and cheer in the background. There were even protestors dressed in hippie clothing marching down the street.
And to think, if I had stayed on Robson an extra 4 hours, I would have been able to be one of those people chasing Wayne Gretzy in the rain on his way to light the external Olympic torch. As Giosy puts it, those people were like kids running after the ice cream truck. Gretzky was their ice cream.
That does look like a good hot dog. Like a foot long hot dog from the PNE...which reminds me, I really love wiggle chips! I am going to eat all the wiggle chips I can at the PNE this year when I go home!
