Feb 11 marks the 105th day of the Olympic torch’s journey to Vancouver where it will host the 2010 Winter Olympic and ParaOlympic games this year. My family and I was at the Burnaby Village Museum this rainy morning along with hundreds of school children, parents and media crew who were lining the path in anticipation of the torch runner. The torch only spent a few minutes here before continuing on to Vancouver. Among the 4000+ spectators was a large childrens choir represented by students from Marlborough Elementary school. Wearing Olympic mittens and jackets and each carrying a hockey stick, the choir performed three songs for all who were in attendance.

After the torch had left the village grounds, there was a mass exodus of children and parents. We stayed behind and visited one of the exhibits on site instead. There was an old reconditioned railcar that allowed visitors to board and learn about what it was like to ride the railcars back in the 1950s.
