Olympics 2012 in London, Cardiff and Segovia

I am just wondering how long it will take to take down all those Olympics signs  from the underground, road side, public buildings etc. What a massive infrastructural effort the Olympics has been!   Where do they put all those "London Live" screens from Hyde Park and other parks all around the country - and flat screen TVs, flags, mascots, bunting that  are everywhere and  the huge knitted  "Lions Heart Project" lions in front of natural History Museum?


 It took two hours to drive through London on our way to the men's bronze medal football game in Cardiff. No comments! Even our teddies who have travelled around the country looked fed up.

Not that I want to be rude but I didn't know that they play football in South Korea or Japan. And that they are good. Very good.


I missed the Olympics Opening Ceremony when we were in Oulu but was lucky enough to arrive just in time to my God Daughters' house in  Segovia to see the Closing Ceremony.  WOW. It was amazing. How did they manage to get Freddy Mercury to lead the Sing-Along Session? And the madness of the medley led by Monty Python's Eric Idle that combined Naughty Nuns, Morris dancing, Bollywood Bling   under the umbrella of  "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life". As mad as  Great Britain can be on its best. Veeeeeeery enjoyable indeed!

And my holiday continues in an appropriate Olympic Theme as my lovely God Daughters dive into the pool for their 'Moment of Shine': 27 meter's free style swim. 

It is difficult to say which one shines brighter under the burning Sun; girls faces or their medals?
