A Great Games

OK, other then the tv coverage, it was pretty awesome to be at a major games. Two nights ago I went out with two other Canadians from T.O. (Julia and Dave). Julia and I both had on our Athens jackets, you would not believe how many times we got asked if we were athletes, and for autographs. Funny. It was an awesome night out, so much fun. Then yesterday I watched the men's cycling road race. Canada came in 4th which was great. It was 32 degrees here yesterday, I felt very bad for the guys competing - too hot. But it was fun to watch, saw two good crashes, luckly no big injuries. Then last night I went down to one of the parks with a bunch of Welsh people to watch the closing ceremonies on a big screen. It was really good. Especially the fireworks all along the river and from the tops of the buildings. It was great. It was a really good day. Dame Edna (the comedian) was in the closing ceremonies and was taking shots and the American's. It was pretty funny. About them trying to figure out why they weren't invited to the games. Anyways, today is a pretty slow day, tomorrow I am off on a tour and Wednesday I get to see the Lion King! Yeah, should be good.
