Witness to Canada's Final Gold


Yeah Canada! We watched the end of the 3rd period and overtime of the men's gold medal Olympics hockey game from an open air bar at 5 am. Technically the bat was closed and the workers were sound asleep next to us, but we saw the TV and found ESPN and voilĂ ! Fate was on our side. We had just arrived to Vientiane following a 10-hour bus trip, had all of our gear with us and hunkered down to see the most exciting part of the game. What an incredible medal run the home nation had. Yeah!!!

  1. CONGRATULATIONS!! You won! The surroundings - an open air bar in the middle of the night on the other side of the world seemed just right. We wish you more exciting highlights. Love, Gudrun

  2. Hockey fans shut down several major intersections in Toronto. It was pretty insane here. Hopefully you didn't wake too many Laotians up with your unabashed revelry.
