Celebrity Sightings

Here I am, at the Beijing Olympics' opening ceremonies. It was such an exciting evening. The Chinese simply pulled out all the stops and spared no expenses. Gave me goosebumps as I walked towards the Bird's Nest, entered the long tunnel, and finally emerging into the stadium with all that crowd cheering. It was a long night, but one I will never forget.

The whole evening was surreal. I felt like I was at the Academy Awards. So many famous people. The first I met was Nadal.
The I saw Lindsey Davenport, who snubbed us Guam, short people.
There were also plenty US basketball players whom everyone was excited about, but I didn't know them.

Hi - I accidentally found your blog tonight while skimming through Blogger.com. Oddly enough, I found just as Guam came through the opening ceremonies on TV! I have enjoyed reading your blog & hope to continue reading it as the Olympics go on and I will pay special attention to Guam now!
