Vancouver Olympics 2010

Everyone is a fan of the Olympics, everyone has something or someone to cheer for.  The whole world watches.  This year we're on home turf as we host the 2010 Olympics games in Vancouver, BC. 

In our house we watched the opening ceremonies on TV, and followed allong on Twitter (#olympics).  This made for a very interesting running commentary to go along with the fantastic job that the organizers of the ceremonies did.  Here are some of the comments, which brings you along with the ceremonies.
