The City Becomes Alive
>> Monday, October 12, 2009
Over the Thanksgiving Weekend we have some 20,000 extra visitors in town to run the Royal Victoria Marathon, half or 8km race. It's a lot of fun to watch and spectate no matter which part of the city you decide to get out and watch at.
This year I watched the end of the race and found a few people I knew at the finish. Here's the cutest video from the event. Lots of positive energy all around!
A caught the Cutest little boy dancing! He just walked up and started dancing to the song. I only wished that I reacted quicker and got more of the beginning of it.
A very international race!(Notice all of the countries including Switzerland being represented.)
The little speed demons even get to race.
Look at all of the people!I hope to see the great weather next year again!

Hi Jennifer
My name is Aimee du Plessis and I work for Globe Media, publisher of travel sites dedicated to vacationers (www.wordtravels.com) and expatriates (www.expatarrivals.com).
I came across your blog http://expatraveler.blogspot.com/ and found it a very interesting read as well as having a 5/10 page rank.
I was wondering whether you could link to our Expat Arrivals guide for Canada http://www.expatarrivals.com/canada/moving-to-canada which has a 4/10 page rank.
Our site contains carefully researched, impartial information written by expats, for expats. I believe your readership will find Expat Arrivals to be a helpful resource.
Would you please place a link to www.expatarrivals.com on your blog?
Thank you for the consideration and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at my email below.

I found this very interesting and very nice to be a virtual part of.
Must have been a very positive experience;-))
How great fun and what cute boy in the vid - thanks for sharing!
Btw: I'm sorry I have not been around that much lately, but you know I have been working hard to find a way so that we could meet. Now it's official and planned hard for it: Oslo Blog Gathering 2010 - I do hope you can come and also encourage your other blog friends to participate too!
So many people... amazing!
I find Canadians are great runners, as well as Americans. Back in France, none of my friends ran (except to catch the bus!). But here, I know at least three people who run marathons.
