What a morning!
We went to Cananda House and my son William and I held the Stanley Cup. Then we found the Canadian Mint and I was given a private audience with the Olympic medals. Each medal is unique, every single one has a different design. Can you imagine? They are absolutely huge and my sons dared to tell me these medals were way better than mine. Errr. Actually he is right, these are the most beautiful Olympic medals I have ever seen. Each meadal is truly a piece of art.
As if this wasn't great enough for one morning - the COC found a couple curling tickets and William and I are off to the Gold Medal match. I am getting the Coles Notes of curling right now as I ride the bus to the venue. Go Canada. --Silken
