PART 2: Back to Vancouver - surviving with a goal in mind.
 

Vancouver, Canada - February 12, 2010

 
Today is the opening of the Vancouver Winter Olympics, and it looks more like a rainy spring event. There will be many people coming in. Yesterday I met Brian Adams and a few other Canadian celebrities. It was interesting how people get excited seeing them.
 
Before going to work I went for a walk downtown and saw the Olympic countdown clock.

It's 10:30 in the morning. Today we will have a lot of people coming in - the last major rehearsal before the opening ceremony. There should be more than 50.000 people going in.
 
I am getting a bit sick of the eggs and toast breakfast and the chocolate chip cookies every day at the venue. I don't eat much, but I am gaining weight ! Somehow I feel lazy and don't go to the gym in the morning. I will have to push myself harder.
 
The weather was a spring-like in the meantime. Sunshine and you can easily break a sweat when walking. There is no snow on the mountains and except the advertisements on the street - nothing makes this place look like Winter Olympics.
 

 
My life has always been about freedom and I shall continue to walk this path.
Safe travels ! ........... Stan
