The Olympic flame came to Iqaluit today. It was a huge deal for the town - roads were closed and all non-essential personnel got to leave work an hour early!! It was pretty fun to feel the energy in the crowd that gathered in the -30 degree weather, and I realized that there's a good chance that this may be the only real Olympic-related event I ever attend so I stuck it out against the cold.
The flame on it's last leg of the relay through town.
Wickedly cold, but having fun!!
What a cozy looking sasquatch? Oh.. and Hey look at the thing wearing blue earmuffs!
