The Olympic Torch finally makes it to Port Moody!

February 11th, 2010

So this morning we woke early to catch sight of the Olympic Torch Relay making it’s way through Port Moody.  The spirit of Port Moody residents was neither dampened by the early wake up nor the rain!

On our way down Heritage Mountain Boulevard we were shocked that the entire boulevard was already lined with cars at 6:15am and people walking down the hill to catch a glimpse of the flame at Port Moody City Hall and Newport Village.  We continued along Ungless Way passing Eagle Ridge Hospital and then left onto Guildford way.  The streets were packed with residents yeilding flags, banners and umbrellas full of life and screaming with exuberance their excitement.  We strategically found a spot close to a Starbucks on Guildford Way on the median island - a great spot!

We hope you all get out during these next couple of weeks to celebrate the Spirit of the Olympics and enjoy all the free events going on.  This is a great opportunity to spend time with family and friends and take some memorable photographs!

Strategically placed ourselves close to a Starbucks so we could get our morning fix.

And the rain came down!

… and then the half naked bodies…. ooh so cold out!

The Official Olympic Cheering Squad to rally the crouds.

Port Moody’s Olympic Torch Bearer.  We have yet to find someone who knows who it is! So if someone out there reading this can tell us we’ll let you know!

Now that’s Olympic Spirit!!!
