The Olympics - What a finish!
Well it's over. We were classy. We were corny (gotta love those closing ceremonies), and just a little sassy. By inviting the World into our backyard, the World in return has given us (Canadians, and in particular Vancouverites) a precious gift. Our International guests have reminded us how to behave, how to be gracious hosts, and how to be proud while maintaining our Canadian humility. They also reminded us how to have fun. For that we owe our guests of the World a great debt. I hope we can repay that debt by drawing from our self (re)discovery and being just as noble as guests as we have striven to be as hosts. ~a
