Let the games begin! No, I am not making a reference to the Hunger Games, I'm talking about the London 2012 Olympics! I have spent that last few days in London watching the city prepare for the big event that starts this Friday. Unfortunately, I leave tomorrow and will just have to settle for watching the games on tv, but it was still fun to see where the events will be taking place. Just earlier today I took a tour of Olympic Park and saw the main stadium, as well as the aquatic center and the athlete's training ground.
In addition to everything Olympic related, I also did a few of those typical touristy things like going for a ride on the London Eye and snapping some picture of Big Ben. I even tried fish and chips while I was here, despite the fact that I hate fish. All in all London was great, and I would really love to come back when I have a little more time. Four days just wasn't enough to fit in all things I would like to do, you know the things like hunting down Prince William and reuniting the Spice Girls...
