Let the games begin! We are watching the opening ceremony. The team from Georgia has just entered the stadium - so brave of them after today's terrible event. We are supposed to attend the women's luge on Tuesday.....

Quite a different buzz today at the bus hub as spectators were there for the first time. They were on their way to see the qualifying round on the 'small' ski jump. Things still moved smoothly at the site - spectators go through different security and are on different buses until we are in the secure area. We had a quiet day - everyone behaved at our positions. We ended up having our lunch break at the same time and just as we finished it started to rain. When we called in to get our next assignment, we were told to return to base and go home early - the athletes didn't train in the rain so we weren't needed. We watched some ski jumping and then headed home.

Random thoughts:
To my DuPont colleagues - The Olympics have more acronyms that we could every imagine!
To our ski family at Highlands Nordic/Highlands TrailBlazers - talk about karma - the bus we take from our home to the bus hub is the 202 HIGHLANDS!
Why are the male country name carriers fully dressed and the female ones are in mini-skirts?

Back to the ceremony...they are up to New Zealan and the excitement is rising......Who will light the flame? My choice is Nancy Greene.....

8 a.m. shift tomorrow whi h means a 5 a.m. wakeup call.
