I think this has been the most emotional opening ceremony and torch lighting I've ever seen!

Well, two high points for me, besides the amazing visual stuff are... 1. the U S flag bearer , Lopez Lomong, was one of the lost boys from the Sudan!!!!!! 2. the little boy who survived the earthquake marching alongside China's flag bearer Yao Ming. (and later how cute was it that Yao was carrying him around so he had a bird's-eye view of the torch lighting. Oy, forgot, a third thing... the torch lighting ... truly awesome.

What an amazing Opening Ceremony. That was truly the most incredible demonstration of beauty and precision. The parade of athletes gives me chills. You can just see the pride on their faces...I love it! I'm so psyched...I love the Olympics. I'm anxious for all the swimming events.

Cool graphic, Cheryl! I love the Olympics too, so I'm going to try to catch as much of it as I can.
I think that was the best Opening Ceremony ever! #punten# They somehow seem to get better each time. I stayed up late last night so that I could record the replay, since I missed part of it the first time around.
