Welcome to Beyond The Gates: Observations From Within The Five Ring Circus, our official Olympics Blog featuring daily musings from contributing editor and our feet on the ground in Vancouver, Crai S. Bower. Throughout the games, Crai will be providing an inside look at what's happening and what's hot in Vancouver and Whistler so whether you're in town for the games or you just want to experience the event through the eyes of someone there, make sure to come back early and often for Crai's daily insights.
For those of you who don't know Crai, he's a seasoned travel writer who's been published in the likes of Alaska Airlines Magazine, Journey Magazine and MSN.com, and also happens be the travel commentator for KUOW 94.9, Seattle's NPR affiliate. Crai also helped author Fodor's Guide To Vancouver (2010 Edition) and will be lending his expertise on the area to the blog.
