Long lines for events, nation's "House Tents", and an unobstructed photo of the flame cauldron keep getting longer but amazingly there's good humour and friendliness everywhere. The lineup to get into the Olympic Store (just to buy Hudson Bay official merchandise) is now so long that for the first time in history the store will be open 24 hours.
Pat went to the impressive Aboriginal Pavilion and couldn't wait the 1 1/2 hours to get in, but took these photos of the entertainment provided while people wait outside (in the sunshine!). International visitors especially are gobsmacked by the colours and the dances of local First Nations. They have even carved native images into that familiar bottle of the big Olympic sponsor. Pop art, anyone??
