The Olympic Flame on PEI
On Saturday afternoon the Olympic flame arrived on PEI. Corey and I traveled with the caravan for most of the weekend, following the Torch. Here are a few photos from our adventure.
Canada Games medalest for team PEI, Matthew Casely, carried the torch off the ferry in Wood Islands and onto PEI soil.
Here is me holding the Torch with one of the Torchbearers in Vernon Bridge.
Each torchbearer carried the flame for 300meters, and then handed the flame off to another torchbearer. Here is one of the handoffs on Sundy morning in North Rustico.
This was a once and a lifetime opportunity for many Torchbearers...and they were extremely excited to represent our country.

This is my favorite picture. I have know idea who it is...but he has great energy!
Corey with Olympian Kara Grant
The Crowd in Cavendish was awesome! They were also celebrating the 135th birthday of L. M. Montgomery.
Corey with the Olympic Flame. When they made long pit stops (Cavendish was a lunch break), they lit the flame in a Olympic Cauldron....this one was right infront of Green Gables House.
After their lunch break, they lined up the next batch of runners who would be taking the torch through the streets of Cavendish. Don't they look great in their matching uniforms!
Well...those are just a few of our pictures... hope you enjoyed seeing a piece of our weekend. Don't forget to show your Olympic Spirit this winter, as Canada prepares to host the World in February!
