After work today, I took transit to downtown in hopes of catching Michael Buble run the torch down the Burrard Street Bridge and along Pacific. Well I got there 2 hours before he was supposed to run through since I was anticipating a crowd. I anticipated too well since there was hardly anyone around at the time. That left me time to get some food and by the time I got back to my spot, crowds were starting to form. After an hour, there was several thousand people lining the streets of Burrard and Pacific. It was quite enjoyable to be part of the crowd! Unfortunately Michael Buble didn’t run the torch down, or at least we didn’t get to see him. He was quite personable and took the time to take photos with many spectators as well as letting people rub the Torch for good luck! It’s like…an Olympic Torch Buddha!
*Correction, Michael Buble did run the torch in, the crowd I was in managed to miss him still grrr*
