Cherries in blossoms, spring-like temperatures and snow from Manning Park - that was Vancouver in February 2010. Not very wintery, but we enjoyed the Olympics in Vancouver more than expected. Since we didn’t have to travel downtown and everybody else seemed to be on vacation or work from home, traffic was much lighter than usual. We ventured downtown a couple of times and immersed ourselves into the Olympic crowds, went to a women’s hockey game (very exciting as it was tied 2:2 until the last few minutes) and I even got close and personal to an olympic torch (no longer lit).
