Richmond

Richmond, BC, Feb 9th, 2010, Day 103 of The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay.

The torch hit Richmond Ozone in style tonight. It was a fantastic multicultural celebration. They included the Chinese New Year (Year of the Tiger) As part of the celebration. The year of the tiger is my year co-incidentally.

I am certain Ozone will be a great place to party this month. Though there were some crowd control issues at the end of the ceremony. I got boxed in behind the bleachers with a few hundred people. Lots of them were trying to push the way out.

Seems like Ozone may have let a few too many people in towards the end.
But other-wise it was a great time. I have too many pictures to post. Even took some video but will save that for tomorrow.
One good shot of the torch runner. Given the distance I was at.

There are still two days to see left to see the torch relay. Including the Governor of California. Do I even need to say his name?

Update: I forgot to mention. They said that tonight’s crowd 15000 plus was the biggest on record. Way to go Richmond!

Looking to escape the Olympic Craziness? Head out to Steveston Village during the Weekend. You can pick up a Pink Salmon to feed 3 for 5 dollars. They have other varieties of fresh fish available directly on the boats @ steveston dock.. Other things you can do include touring: The Gulf of Georgia Cannery.

There are several great places to get fish and chips while in Steveston. My all time favorite is Pajos Fish and Chips. They Have a dock in the Village and an Outlet at Garry Point. Winter hours are restricted but we were there Sunday February 7th and they were open on a cloudy & rainy day.
