We had been trying to get into Heinken House since it opened but every time we went out, they closed the doors saying they were capacity so the plan was to be there by noon. It was the right move as we had no problems getting in. They did close the doors again though.This time at 2pm which seems even earlier than usual but we were glad to be inside!

We thought for sure they would be showing the mens gold medal curling match but they weren’t putting it on. It took a couple chants from the crowd… “curling! curling! curling!”, until they finally put it on and we were able to watch our Canadian mens team win the Gold.

Another Gold medal!

It was a fun day! So many people enjoying the sports, enjoying the beer and enjoying talking to each other!

A little behind on updating this. Has been really busy the last couple of days.

Friday night was once again about hockey but first our Canadian women curlers were taking on the Swedish team in the Gold medal match. Who knew curling was so exciting? The swedish team tied it up in the last end and it went to an extra one where with the last rock, the Canadian women were not able to knock of the swedish team and had to settle for Silver. But what a game!!! Or is it a curling match? I have yet to find out what the right term is.

And on to the Canada vs Slovakia hockey game. I have never been known for being a calm person watching hockey but the last 4 minutes of that game were down right wrong.I don’t think anyone was in their seats as Slovakia came on strong and tried to tie up the game. With some amazing goal tending my Luongo we were able to hang on and move on to the Gold medal round. A perfect rematch with the USA.

Vancouver Canucks teammates Demitra and Luongo share a laugh after the game.

Quatchi came out with us Friday night and I really think he had a lot of fun… maybe a little too much!

It was an early night as Heineken House was on the agenda for Saturday.

Rally. The key word for the remainder of the Olympics.

A great start to the night as the Canadian Women’s hockey team took home the Gold. Now if only our men’s hockey team can do the same thing….

We wanted to check out either Saxony house, the german beer gardens or Irish House but didn’t end up at any of them. We instead landed at Lux on Granville Street watching Joannie Rochette capture the bronze medal in figure skating. I still can’t believe that just days after her mother passed away that she was able to find that strength. It was a great thing to witness.

The Olympic medalists.

Canvas Lounge has been putting on Victory Celebrations almost every night of the Olympics and so we headed there for their Italian night. Seemed fitting since I am going to Italy this summer. The party was ok. Best thing was the huge wheel of parmesan reggiano. It was amazing and would have loved to just put it in my purse and take it home! I do love me some cheese!

Party scene at Canvas Lounge.

The DJ was great. And then there was this dude. Seriously good! Check out his shredded bow!!

We had fun even though these types of parties are so not my scene but as long as I am with my friends, I am all good!
