August 2nd:
First off, I will say that there is no finer group of Europeans than Londoners. Maybe it's because they speak the same language, have this amazing accent, or just appear charming all the time, but they are the nicest people I have met so far. If only the Frenchies could take a lesson! I knew it too as soon as I got on the EuroStar train in Brussels to come to London.
Now, today, I really caught the spirt of the Games. First off, I really tried to get up to the rowing venue by Windsor Castle to see the US women's 8. It was a long shot, and, even though I did not get in, it was amazing to be near Windsor, see the outside of the castle, and watch the US women win gold! I can now also say that I rowed with an Olympic gold medalist! Wow! Way to represent Ithaca College, Western New York, and the US, Meghan Musnicki!!!!
Now, the rest of the day was awesome. I befriended two Canadians from Edmonton near the Imperial War Museum, hung out with them, tried to get into the Olympic Village, failed, and then just went to a pub with my new Canadian blokes :)
