Opening Ceremony

Finally the day has arrived -- the coveted opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games.

I have now learned that only the athletes and six officials are allowed to march for each country. Did not know that; did you? Luckily, Guam has "only" 5 disciplines represented, so I was assured of the honor of walking in the ceremonies. We are to board a bus from the village at 6pm tonight. I can hardly wait. I just hope I don't die of heat exhaution from wearing the suit!

I am also glad to learn that we are allowed to bring a small, pocket sized camera; however, we are not allowed to take pictures while we are marching. Seems fair enough.
