Vancouver Sun Run 2009

Watched the 25th Annual Vancouver Sun Run from the sidelines this morning. It is the 2nd largest run in the world - over 55,000 registered runners this year. Somewhat down from 2008 with a record 60,000. Weather perfect for running - cool and dry.

The Opening of the New Vancouver Convention Centre - At Long Last!


It will welcome the world during the 2010 Winter Olympics - it will serve as headquarters for the world media.



The exterior - too wide to get into the picture at once.







The views


BC fir everywhere



Some of the lounges.





Cirque Acrobats put on a show in the main hall (55,000 sq. ft.)





Gigantic Exhibition Hall - larger than BC Place Stadium.

On the Other Hand....

on the way back home, here's a demonstration for homes for the homeless as opposed to putting money into the 2010 Winter Games.
