olympic outing no.2

so the olympic recount continues. we took Pilar out one night to check out the street life, and it sure was exciting! we live close to downtown so every night we could hear the fireworks, but we couldn't see them. occasionally we saw few blue lasers in the sky but that was it. 

this night we got Pili in the back carrier, and took the bus downtown. we walked along Granville street, passed the children's lantern installation, and the  up Georgia to the art gallery and Robson Square where there was so much going on! it was amazing to this public space being used. at 9 pm the first light show started and we were right in the thick of it all. there were laser projections on buildings, fire balls, and the famous zip line had athletes zipping across to loud music. it was really a family affair with tons of kids around. the music and the fire balls shooting around everywhere started making Pilar nervous and scared, so we hopped back on the bus and went home.

all in all it was a super fun night, and it was really great to catch even a glimpse of the action!
