Photoblog: Olympic Fever!

My friend Kate got the chance to be an Olympic torchbearer when the flame came through Ottawa a couple of weeks ago. Her run was at 7:45 a.m., December 14, 2009, in Orléans (east end Ottawa), right near our place.


The police get St. Joseph Blvd. blocked off.



Is that the fl- no, just a car.

Eagerly awaiting the flame at the corner of St. Joseph and Place d'Orléans Blvd.



Kate's leg of the run was sponsored by Coca-Cola. And their people were far too perky for 7:45 a.m. on a Monday morning.



First glimpse of the flame! St. Joseph Blvd. and Edgar-Brault Street.



Go Kate! (Sorry for the blurry photo.)



Go Kate!



Kate, looking fantastic!

Well done, Kate!
