Olympic Torch Relay in White Rock, BC.

February 12, 2010

The Olympic torch relay passed through White Rock, BC early Tuesday @ 6:30am. The torch route was from 16th Avenue, down Johnston Road down to the Beach/ Marine Drive to the Semihamoo First Nations and Peace Arch Park on the BC Washington State border crossing.

It seemed like the whole town was out to cheer for the Olympic Flame and our Canadian athletes. The crowds lined the streets and the young and old all cheering enthusiastically.

Our Canadian Flags lined the whole route and we also spotted USA, French, Italian and Swiss flags.

I got my little Nephews and their Big Brother and Sister up at 6:00am and even thought they were half asleep I could see the excitement and wonder in their faces. First we went to the starting line then drove down to the finishing line so we got to see several different runners.

This is definitely the place to be during the Olympics. You can enjoy the peace and quite of the Small Town atmosphere and we are only 30 minutes from the Olympic Skating Oval in Richmond and about an hour away from downtown Vancouver.

  My husband and I stayed here for two months in 2007 while we were looking for property in the area. We have revisited many times since then. The accommodations are beyond comfortable - they are beautiful. The property sits on a very high bluff over the ocean and the views are stunning. The owner is an artist when it comes to creating an experience that is at once healing and luxurious. An amazing place - you won't want to leave.... Trishrae, St. Albert, Alberta.
