Work Day and Our Home Away From Home

Woodsy - Today was my first actual "work day".  I got up at 5:10 am, arrived for breakfast at the venue at 6, meeting at 7 and to the "mid station" by 7:30.  I was taken on a tour and then began working.  A Steward's job is to maintain the integrity of the mens course-basically not allow people on the course.  I was off the mountain by 4 pm.  I even got a ride home from one of the other Stewards, who lives around the corner.
Speaking of home, our home away from home in Whistler is amazing!  Our host, Pat picked us up at the bus stop on our arrival and our hostess, Elly greeted us at the front door, taking pictures.  On the evening of our arrival, we were wonderfully surprised with a delicious lasagna dinner.  It was definitely what we needed after a long day of travel and we really appreciated.  Beadraich and I have our own wonderful bedroom and we share a bathroom with Graydon.  We are 2 bus stops away from Creekside, which is wonderful!
We are going to watch the opening ceremonies tonight and have dinner with our hosts, their daughter, Shannon and grand daughter, Reighan.
