Thursday arrived and I had a ticket for the women's bronze hockey game, so while Jen went to work, I walked over to GM Place, where the Canucks play, which has been renamed for now as Canada Hockey Place. I had a great seat, at the end of the rink, and it was an exciting game, with Finland winning 3-2 in overtime against Sweden, who I had seen back on Day 2. Shown below is the Finnish team posing for a team photo. On the overhead screen is the female president of Finland, who had given a cheer during intermission. You can also see all the red Team Canada clothing in the crowd.
In the late afternoon, I met my first cousin Jenny for high tea at Secret Garden. This was the first time I've had high tea there, and it was complete with linen napkins, a tea cozy on the pot, sandwiches, scones with cream and tiny squares on a 3-tier tray. Lots of fun! I had seen Jenny on my last visit to Vancouver last July, but we didn't get together on our own that time. We made plans to meet up again before I leave.
In the evening, Jen and I watched the Ladies figure skating finals. What courage Joanie Rochette had to skate, and then winning a bronze, wow!
