Yesterday, my roommate and I went downtown with some friends to check out some of the Olympic festivities. We heard a little rumor that the Royal Canadian Mint had Olympic medals on display and we decided to investigate. The line-up was about 3 hours long, but we grabbed some Starbucks and just enjoyed ourselves as we waited our turn. When we finally got into the mint, they gave us each a white glove that said "I Touched Olympic Gold" and we got to go into this room and see the medals, and hold them. We weren't allowed to wear them because that is an honor reserved strictly for the athletes, but it was fun to get to hold one in my hand! They're pretty heavy and they really do sparkle! It was so much fun.
For those of you who have me as a friend on Facebook, that is where I am posting most of my Olympic photos as my Flickr Pro account expired and I don't have a credit card to renew. If you don't have me as a friend on Facebook, email me and I'll add you so you can see them!
Hope your week is golden! :o)
