Woke up to find hubby-Eric watching the live coverage of the decision on the 2010 Winter Olympics on the CBC. Apparently, as of this writing, Salzburg has been eliminated from the voting, and it's between Korea and Canada. Since we live really close to the Canadian bidding city, Vancouver/Whistler, we are rooting for Canada. And, of course, it's hard not to root for Canada while watching Canadian TV.
Update: Vancouver/Whistler just won the bid. Seven years of construction are about to start North of the border.
Another Update: The vote was really close, and Pyeongchang actually won the first round of voting 53 votes to Vancouver/Whistler's 40 to Salzburg's 16. If all 16 Salzburg votes hadn't gone to Vancouver/Whistler, the 2010 Winter Olympics may well have been held in Korea. As it is, V/W only won 56 to 53. Wow.
