We had tickets to the U.S. v. Sweden women's semi final in hockey today. It was a bit of a scouting mission to see who would play against Canada in the gold medal game. Remember, we met five members of the U.S. team a few days back and had genuinely wished them luck against Sweden. It turned out that they didn't need our luck--the American team was very good and won a decisive victory. We couldn't help but cheer a bit for Sweden-not because we wanted them to win but because we both have a soft spot for the underdog and a deeply held belief in the truth of Cinderella stories.
The U.S. game ended at about 2:30pm and there was no chance of finding a good spot to watch the Canada v. Finland semi final so we went back to the condo and watched from the comfort of our couch. It was actually a welcome break, particularly for Kim whose lungs reacted very badly to the ubiquitous pot smoke, particularly in the porta-potties at LiveCity yesterday. She's still coughing.
Canada's game was a good one. It seemed that the Finns played better than the Swedes did against the U.S. It remains to be seen what will happen in the final.
We are now watching the ice dancing after enjoying a home-cooked meal prepared by Paul.
We have more events tomorrow.
Until tomorrow,
The Entity
