The following night I had a big family reunion in downtown Vancouver. There were over 80 family members, 20 of us from Australia and the other 60 from Vancouver. I have many 2nd, 3rd and more distant Crema cousins living here in Vancouver – relatives on my Grandfathers side. Some I had met before when I was young, and some were new to me…yet we still shared the same last name! It was great to catch up with everyone; it doesn’t happen very often!
On Thursday I went to see Chelzie Lee perform in the figure skating finals. It was a great event filled with incredible performances. Chelzie did amazingly well and finished 20th. On Friday I watched Joh Shaw compete in the PGS (snowboard alpine). Once my event was over, it was great to be able to watch and support your teammates compete.

That night we celebrated Lydia's gold medal in the aerials with a gold medal party held by the AOC. Of course, afterwards we went out and celebrated in true Aussie style at the Budweiser House in the city.

That night we explored the city. The town is absolutely buzzing with people, music, performances…. There are people everywhere in the streets, even at 4am!
