The Torch

The Olympic Torch came through a week and a half ago, and we went with friends to see it cross the train bridge. We didn't stand around to watch it go all the way across, but it was somewhat interesting to see just how they were going to do it. I couldn't zoom in enough, but it went over on a historic train cart- the kind you see in cartoons with a few guys pumping a lever up and down to make it go. Before the torch itself came into sight we watched the helicopter which Daniel was entertained by. that's what he's pointing to in the first picture. He was chatting away about it too, but stoppped every time I tried to get a video of it.







Not sure why my pictures keep coming up in the opposite order I select them lately, but the torch is halfway across in the long view (above) and just coming onto the bridge in th straight on shot (below).



It was remarkably warm January weather here that week (I'm sure the runners were more thankful than most) so it was great to get outside!
