Wow, the Olympics have been over for a week already! They absolutely flew by and I loved every minute.
Here are a few photos of spectators that are too good not to post!
The day after the Olympics ended, I left town for a couple of quiet days. At the airport, I spotted athletes from South Africa, Denmark, Portugal, Australia, Norway, Croatia, Canada, and Russia, including Russia's men's gold medal winning volleyball team! (You didn't think I was going to stop looking for athletes, did you?!) Most of the Russian coaches (and several of the athletes) were at the VAT refund desk with piles of shopping receipts as long as my arm while the Russian athletes were stocking up in the duty free store.
Congratulations to London for hosting a fantastic Olympic games. I had been looking forward to this for the past seven years and somehow, all of my expectations were exceeded.
Well done to all of the athletes who took part.
Thank you to the volunteers for your nonstop enthusiasm and eager helpfulness.
Most importantly, a huge thank you to my parents. I never would have seen the games in person (and therefore would never have any of the athletes!) if not for you. Thanks.
