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?

Olympic Torch Relay
The cyclist had never before had such a straight forward ride along London Road than on the Olympic Torch Relay Day. No cars, nor buses just happy crowds on both sides of the road waiting for the Torch to arrive.
By the way we got our tickets for Olympic the other day: half past seven in the morning it was - a special delivery. Gardiff here we were come! How exciting it would be if Spanish men football team would be playing against England. I do not know anything about football. Just that the idea is to kick the ball to the goal. Never mind I'm happy to experience the atmosphere.A taster from it it was on last Monday when the Torch arrived to our town with applauding and cheering.
