bus trup home Thursday afternoon

This entry has now been edited by Debbie because she hates typos!
On the bus using my BB. Pretty quiet day today. Everyone was well behaved. It might be a bit busier tomorrow once all of the teams have arrived. This is an easy group to marshal. They are pros and know the process a lot easier then domestic races. (Comment by Debbie: There are always some who ignore us. This time they all seem to be from one country which shall remain nameless except it isn't Canada.)

It snowed a lot today. Very wet snow but much needed snow. While they have a good base the snow is old and it has been groomed so many times that it doesn't stand up. This fresh snow once it has been groomed in will really help. The forecast is snow \ rain for Whistler but that hopefully will only be snow at the cross country venue. (Comment from Debbie: This is for the benefit of our ski friends who understand the complexities of waxing for snow. I'm not one of those people.)

Getting lots of practice with my French chatting with Montreal police. There are 75 here and another 75 in Vancouver. Lots ot Toronto. Peel Ottawa Police as well. We see police from all over the country. With the number of cars we see pulled over that the RCMP must have 0 tolerance. And there are tons on the road. Nice that we don't have to worry about driving. On the other hand it is about 2 hours transit each way.

Up at 4AM yesterday and 5 today. Tomorrow we get to sleep in until 6 Yippie.
