Penticton - Kelowna (Day 88)

First day back with the torch. I did not run, but drove one of the vehicles. It was nice to see all the people lining the road everywhere the torch would go. What was even more amazing was to see that many people were dressed in red with Canadian flags and smiles all around.


Crowds await the flame in Summerland


There is nothing better than seeing the torchbearers with a smile as they finish their run. Our day finished in Kelowna and we were greeted by a crowd of over 10,000 people. Tomorrow I will be running from Vernon to Revelstoke.


The cauldron is lit in Kelowna

Carpe Diem

P.S.
Here is a photo of the lantern that keeps the Olympic flame burning at all time (the torch is lit from these flames). The flame in the lanterns is the one that was lit in Greece.
