Carrying the Olympic Torch

Last week the Olympic torch was lit in Olympia, Greece to signify the beginning of the upcoming Winter Olympic Games.  The torch will trek through 1,000 communities on its trip to Vancouver, B.C. where it will land on February 12.  A symbol of peace, the torch will travel 106 days of 28,000 miles to it's final resting point in B.C.'s Place Stadium where it will remain lit throughout the games.  The winter games start February 28, 2010.
