Hi lacie,
Lucky you! The olympics take place in your country! I didn't see the whole opening ceremony, but what I watched on telly was just great. Some of the costums were lovely. I think that the little girl was brilliant. FANTA

she is something special, that's for sure Fanta!! I am glad you enjoyed what you saw.

Lacie, I just thought of a GREAT idea! Let me know who wins the medals as they happen, & I'll place bets here but no one will know the results right away. We can split the profits! After all, I have your telly number.(peeing me pants thinking
up the grand scheme) *LOL*....BTW, I'm not
patronizing you or your country, but that had to be right at the top of the list for one of the greatest opening ceremonies this yank has ever seen!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!
