This past Monday (Dec. 28), the Olympic Flame came through our little village so we had to go check it out. Monique and Hannah had already been to see it in Georgetown 2 weeks earlier, so they knew where the hand-off points were and we promptly found one so I could get some good pictures. A few minutes later the Coke and RBC entourage went by, to pump up the crowd, then the bus with the torch bearers stopped and let out the next runner. Monique quickly ran over to him and shouted at me to take a picture with the flame, I wasn't sure we were allowed to hi-jack his torch, but he handed it over to Monique and waited for me to take a picture.
I do not know who that is beside Hannah, when she saw me taking pictures, she came over and got in the shot, maybe she thought I was from the paper!!!
And here is when they were passing the flame for the next leg of its journey.
What a moving experience, if you happen to get the chance to see it happen, go, don't miss it, because we don't know when it will be happening next.
