Team Gushue at St. John's International Airport

...And I went to get pictures for you all. Aren't I fantastic? Seriously, the things I do for you, my dear readers!

The man himself, Skip Brad Gushue

And just so you can get a small idea of the crowd, which was standing room only (trust me, this picture doesn't even come close to giving you an idea of how many people were there):




In any event, it was almost impossible for me to get these pictures. Not only did I have to battle the multitudes of well-wishers who came out in throngs to catch a glimpse of our gold medalists, but my camera was on its last joules of battery power, despite having been filled with brand new batteries mere hours before. I managed to get 24 shots in all, and these were not only four of the best photos, they were also four of the last ones as well. By the time these pictures were taken, the crowd had mostly dispersed and my batteries were pushing up entire gardens of daisies.



Russ Howard, of course, is from New Brunswick and so I unfortunately didn't get any pictures of him. I may post some of the other photos later, but right now it's four in the morning and I am tired.
