Gold for Canada!

The only bar in town that had the Olympic matchup between Canada and the U.S. was Don Pepe's, and he must have made his whole years income in one day. The bar area in front was packed and the inside bar was packed, with people sitting on cement ledges and all over the sidewalk! They did a great job keeping up with the drinks and food - thanks, Don Pepe!!!!!!!




Sharon and Les and I got there at 1 pm to get a good seat - Sharon and I each wearing our team Canada shirts!!!









The audience was about 2/3 Canadians and 1/3 USA, so it made for lots of fun. Someone brought their Canada flag and hung it up, and many were wearing Canuck hats, pins, shirts and anything maple leaf.



One of the Americans brought HIS flag and hung it up too - the rivalry was strong, but all very good natured.

Of course Canada prevailed in overtime and won the Gold medal - Go Canada!
