The Summer Olympics in London



The London Summer Olympics are beginning this weekend.  Will you be watching? 


I am very excited about the Summer Olympics taking place in London this weekend.  Even though I am not a big sports fan, I love watching the Olympics.  I get goosebumps when the athletes make their first appearance in the parade during the Opening Ceremony.  And this time the London location is especially enticing.   For the next two weeks I will be watching the Olympics, looking forward to the sporting events as well as all the scenes around London!

  2. I too love the opening ceremony and get patriotic goosebumps when team USA comes into the stadium. I'm not a big sports fan but this is different. It's so nice to see everyone come together. Enjoy your weekend!

    1. You are so lucky! That should be fabulous. Roger Federer and Serena Williams are in the tournament, maybe you'll see them that day. Have a great time.
