2010 Winter Olympics - Vancouver, BC, Canada
I am just sitting here watching the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympic games. It is more than a little cool that the games are being held in Canada this year. I am NOT a huge sports fan but even I love that fact that my country is hosting the games. Yay Canada!
I grew up around the Vancouver area and it is just so beautiful there. Seeing the pictures and sights of BC makes me homesick.
I am always patriotic- I love my country and I am incredibly proud to be a Canadian... but there is something about the ceremonies tonight that is making me even more proud of my country. Best country in the world- Canada!!
Happy Olympics to you all :)

It was from a mixture of Canadian pride, homesickness, jealousy (my family is out there and I'm not, so tied with the previous explanation), sadness (about the luge accident), and more Canadian pride!!
I should have just bitten the bullet and paid the ridiculous airfares to get out there!
Did everyone else catch that story about the team from India? How they arrived with old non-matching uniforms, and the Indo-Canadian community pulled together and bought them new uniforms etc? That just illustrates one of the many reasons I am so proud to be Canadian. :)
