Olympic mascots

For Katelyn:

Miga is a young sea bear which is actually part killer whale and part Kermode bear ( a rare white bear only found in British Columbia). She is based on some legend

Quatchi is a young sasquatch from the mysterious forests of Canada

and lastly
Sumi is an animal spirit from the mountains of British Columbia....

So this is all very interesting. I found it all on the vancouver2010 website. They have a lot of information and cool stuff there.

i must admit that i found it humorous that katelyn only asked what miga was because on looking at them i couldnt figure out what any of them were although i assumed quatchi was some sort of sasquatch based on the name. i'm glad you explained for all of us though. just to let you know: now that you are again posting regularly i am back to obsessively checking your blog every time i do anything online (you know 6 times a day or something ha ha) before when you were not updating it quite as often i had been able to ween myself to 5-7 times a week. thanks a lot for feeding my addiction. jk. i'm really glad you have time with all that you're doing up there to let us know what's up. love you,
katie
