Day 3 ... in the books

Wow, what a GRUELING DAY!! The day started around 5:00 am, and we didn't see the hotel again until almost 10:00 pm. We ordered room service when we got back because we were so exhausted. In the morning, we took the Olympic Bus to Whistler/Creekside for the women's Giant Slalom. Conditions on the mountain were pretty bad and just kept getting worse. We saw Lindsey Vonn crash in front of us, and Julia Manacuso get yellow flagged. It was pretty tough seeing both of them like that.

Finals got postponed until probably today, but we won't be able to attend, since we'll be at the women's Gold Medal Hockey game today between the U.S. and Canada. That's going to e exciting! Here's some pics of the activities on the mountain:







We left Whistler and headed straight to the Olympic Center to see the men's short track speed skating and the women's 3,000 meter relay. It was pretty amazing when the U.S. got beat so bad, yet still took the Bronze Metal because of the Korean DQ. Here's some pictures of the speed skating:























Finally, here's a picture out of our hotel suite's window. It's really amazing!!
