olympics 08 i heart!

I didn't care.

that was until my papa and brother kept bugging me to watch the TV...
and what a sight to see... the stadium, the vibrancy of it all. I wished I was there.




Once-reclusive China commandeered the world stage Friday, celebrating
its first-time role as
Olympic host with a stunning display of pageantry and
pyrotechnics to open a
Summer Games unrivaled for its mix of problems and
promise.


Now ascendent as a global power, China
welcomed scores of
world leaders to an opening ceremony watched by 91,000
people at the
eye-catching National Stadium and a potential audience of 4
billion worldwide.
It was depicted as the largest, costliest extravaganza in
Olympic history,
bookended by barrages of some 30,000 fireworks

.



And to think that Pres. Bush went there after the Chinese people kind of disliked him. And oh! he is the first ever American President to watch the Olympics on a foreign soil.


You and Me from One Nation!
