Who's Torch is it?

So this afternoon we were heading out to lunch to try out the Pita Pit in IV, and as we turned the corner from Hollister on to Los Carneros we were very confused to see a group of people running with gold torch. They were all wearing matching shirts and even had police escorts. We were thinking like holy crap was that the Olympic torch we just saw! That would be pretty sweet.

After consuming our Pita Pit lunches ( side rant here )which was ok, but the service people there aren't up on their own menu, I mean when I order a Philly steak pita, and then they ask me what ingredients I want to put on my pita. How the hell should I know what to put in it! I said I want whatever comes on the Philly pita. Finally someone else chimed up and said its mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and cheese. Phew!

Ok so once I got back to work I put the internet to good use. Our first dream of seeing the torch was put to rest by the fact that the Olympic torch is in Beijing as of today. A few more googling and I found it. Yes what we witnessed is some of our favorite people blended together.. We had the Guardians of the Flame! Cops Running to raise money for the special Olympics. Oh well I guess it's a worthy cause.
