No pictures today!
I spent the morning helping the boys and Mike pack up. Then Mike drove me to YVR on their way home, as I was picking up our last athlete. She's awesome! Very sweet. She and I came back up to Whistler on the athlete's bus, and I helped her check in and get to her home away from home! I left the house at 10:15 am and only got home at 9:00 pm.
I'm tired tonight! But I have to poll y'all: She wants to trade jackets after the games. Do I give her my volunteer jacket in exchange for her Andorran jacket? It's beautiful and warm, and pretty unique. It's not the sweater you saw them marching in the Opening Ceremonies; it's a heavy winter ski coat. White and black. Hem Haw what do I do? I've EARNED my volunteer coat, but there will be a million like mine around Vancouver post-games. How many Andorran coats will there be?
I am feeling way more confident in my French after tonight. I was getting desperate, feeling pretty useless sometimes as I have struggled to understand my crew. ESPECIALLY on the phone. Ay Ay Ay. But I could always understand one of the athletes, and I can now understand the new girl perfectly. So I am feeling better about it all now. The others, with their accents and dialects, give me a bit of a headache. But it was easy to talk tonight! So whew.
Off to Ladies Super Combined tomorrow. Hope to be able to post tomorrow!!!!
