Go Ian Millar and In Style!!

Aug 18, 2008 18:31

We have arrived in Paris. Saw Sacre Coeur, which is gorgeous. And huge! Walked along a lot of small side streets off Blvd de Clichy, had dessert at a little bar with a jazz trio (piano, trumpet, and bass) because my friend is a fan of live music. Tomorrow I will likely take a stroll along the south bank of the Seine ;)

Going to sleep now but we have the Olympics on and I just saw Ian Millar riding In Style for a perfect jump. Is that how you'd say that? Horse lovers and those who know the sport, please correct me if I'm wrong! This is a Spanish channel so I'm depending on numbers to figure out who's winning. It's still kind of sad that we haven't won anything, but it was awesome to see the Canadian flags in the crowd and see one of our Olympiads representing us so well. Go Canada!

It's also kind of cool that two women (that I've seen) are part of the jumping teams. Is this the only mixed gender team sport?

Ooh! I just saw The Allowed do a perfect jump! It's the "jump off".

Oh crap, I think we just lost to the Americans :( Still, we did well for ourselves! Does this mean we get a silver? Or was that just the first heat or whatever? I should learn more about how the Olympics are run.

Anyway, bon nuit! Hope you guys are doing well! *hugs*
