Okay, so attending the Vancouver 2010 Olympics didn't require a lot of travel ... it was a fantastic event in our own city. The streets were alive with activity for the duration of the Olympics, and non-stop television coverage added to the interest and excitement.
One unique element of the street scene was the collection of Welcome signs spread throughout the city, welcoming the world in multiple languages, including many British Columbia First Nation languages. A sampling of these signs is shown below ... how many languages can you recognize?
The following video clip is of an excellent performance by Great Big Sea at an evening Medal Ceremony, performing the song, "Love me Tonight".
If you are impressed by the sound and energy of Great Big Sea, check out their website, for tour dates, bios, sale items, and more.
