The week-long period between the Olympics and the Paralympics can be characterized as transitional to say the least. My first night in Whistler, I stumbled upon the Whistler Medals Plaza and a most incredibly lovely statue of the Olympics rings.
Eight hours later, I head from my accomodations to the bus stop, and the rings have already been switched to the International Paralympic Committee's logo.
(Yes, I realize this picture's at night...it looks cooler that way...but it really was changed the next morning...honest!)
Though I haven't gotten to do too many outdoor activities yet here in Whistler, I did indeed get to go tubing with a fellow Coca-Cola Happiness Ambassador, Melanie, at the Coca-Cola Tube Park at Whistler-Blackcomb on Saturday. It was definitely an adventure worth taking if you're ever up here. I thought for sure I was going to fly out of the track every time...yet, I never did...kudos to the slope specialists that build the tube slopes!
I've had two shifts at the athlete village thus far, and after my shift this afternoon, I will be heading back to Vancouver to help Coca-Cola with their part in the Paralympic Torch celebration in Robson Square this Thursday and Friday. An exciting week is ahead...allons-y!

P.S. - Coca-Cola gave us all thumb drives with exciting pictures of all the Olympic projects...thought I'd share a few here!
