The Greatest Show on Earth.....

We thought this would be the best & easiest way to keep all our family & friends up to date on our day to day happenings in Whistler. We'll try to make a post each day, however we're not going to fool ourselves. We're not young fella's any more and the days are going to be long. But we'll try our best to include as many of the highlights of our adventure of a lifetime as often as possible.

The Home Stretch

Here we are, pretty well at the half way mark with only 5 days of the Olympic games remaining, and an 11 day period before the Paralympics on 12 Mar which run until 21 Mar. Although our number of athletes decreases, our workforce numbers increase when we/they move from the cruise ship on 4 Mar into the Athletes village where we will receive all our meals. I'm actually going to miss the ship. I got into a pretty comfortable routine this past month. However, a 5 minute stroll to work is going to make up the 3 hours of bussing everyday.

We've now served up nearly 130,000 meals, and received 355 skids/pallets of food, weighing it at approx 700,000 lbs. We might just hit that 1 million pounds by the time it's all said & done.

Cheers, Olympic Mike

  1. The athletes are doing great in the homestretch. Today was a banner day for Canada. Hope it was a greata day in the kitchen too.
