Media, speed skating & fireworks

We made it down to the waterfront today to see the olympic cauldron, it is a bit odd to have it behind chain link (for security against protesters) but it looks quite nice.  While down there we were interviewed by both CTV (Canadian version of NBC) and KTUU Anchorage.  Funny. They said it would be posted online, so you might check here if interested....I don't see it up there yet, but Mike's mom said she saw us on the evening broadcast.

We also saw Short Track Speedskating today, VERY fun to watch, we all agreed that the relay was the most entertaining.

Saw Wayne Gretzky at Sochi World....totally happenstance, we were trying to get in, they were closed to the public and he was walking out.  Mike snapped a couple photos with his iPhone, but we can't download it here.

Also got a chance to see the fireworks downtown tonight.....nice.

Hard to believe tommorrow is our final event. We are all a bit sad thinking we will have to leave soon.
