Here are some pictures around downtown Vancouver.  There were taken just before the start of the 2010 Winter Games.  I will post some photos and provide a review of the Marriott Pinnacle Vancouver (purchased on Priceline) in a forthcoming post. 

In the meantime, I hope you are enjoying the Olympic games as much as I am.
