Well today was nothing short of exciting for all of us. The day started with Doug and Lisa heading to the mountains to watch some alpine skiing. It was a gorgeous day in the coastal cluster and Lisa said it was also T-shirt weather in the mountains. Seems more like the summer Olympics than the winter! Doug and Lisa may have gotten to the event late due to barely missing the train but they had a great day cheering for Erik Guay and watching some good racing. Austria has its house in the mountains and it has a nice outdoor bar so on a beautiful day who wouldn't be there?!
Mikaela and Stacey worked in the afternoon. Stacey was bartending at COH and Mikaela was working at CBC. After a press conference and TV interviews with the women's hockey team it was down to work for CBC's guests for the following day. Mikaela was also put in charge of escorting Johann Koss, founder and CEO of Right to Play to his interview with CBC. It was pretty spectacular to be able to meet and talk with someone as accomplished as him.
But the most exciting part of the evening was for the people at COH when Russian president Putin drop by Canada house unannounced. He happened to see some Canadian volunteers outside the house and asked if he could come in. Well no one was going to turn him down and he came in for a visit. It was an exciting time at COH for sure.
On the way home at the end of the night, Mikaela got a ride home with one of the CBC drivers and picked Lisa and Stacey up in the way. We felt like pretty important people on the ride home!
