I am glued to the tv watching the opening ceremonies. All of it is soooo beautiful. It's hard to believe that there is so much poorness and human rights problems when you see such magnificence. Actually, it's a bit sad.

Toni, You beat me to it. I was just about to start this thread. It's simply breathtaking. The precision and the costumes...all of it is mind boggling. Just imagine the electricity of actually being there experiencing this live. WOW!!! I can't wait for the parade athletes from each nation!!!

The parade of atheletes sort of gets boring, just watching them walk, but luckily the commentators do give us all sorts of info as people come on camera. That makes it interesting to watch. It is also interesting to see their outfits.
*e2a*hahaha, just saw a shot of Bush, and he looked BORED, hahaha! Laura, though looked all perky and interested!

Rafa Nadal looked so happy with the delegation of athletes from Spain!! He's got alot to be happy about. He's won the French Open and Wimbledon and is poised to with the US Open too. What a feat if he can throw Olympic Gold into the mix!! Have to say...what the heck was going on with the outfits for the Hungarian Team? Awful
