I officially take back every complaint I aired about the Olympics (the travel disruption, the endless crowds, the mad traffic). It was all so very worth it. I don’t think I have ever been prouder to be a Londoner. I thoroughly enjoyed cheering on the athletes from my sofa but it was even better to do it in person. Out of all the sporting events and concerts I have attended I can safely say that I have never experienced atmosphere quite like that before. From the minute we arrived, we were welcomed with cheers and smiles (even going through the security checks), and then once through security, I got goose bumps hearing the roar of the crowd! I loved every event we watched but I have to single out the blind sprinters and their guides. They were phenomenal. Awe-inspiring seems like such a clichéd word but that’s exactly how I would sum my experience up – I left that stadium glowing!
Londoners are left wondering exactly what we will do with our time now!

looks great. I'm a bit sorry I missed it...
ReplyDeleteI always get goose bumps when I experience a live event, but I think being spectator at the Olympics would top everything off. Love the photos!

PS: yes, that was in Kensington Gardens, at Kensington Palace to be more precise, and the bag is Zara. what would we do without good old Zara? :)
So fun to see your experience of the Games! I managed to get to an event as well and loved the atmosphere - fantastic! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was only yesterday that I was viewing a link with moments from the Paralympics and I was so moved by the enthusiasm and energy in those photos that I got goose pimples. These people are amazing!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful you got to experience going to the games. An Icelandic swimmer got a gold and everyone back home and of course Icelanders abroad were so proud.
Thanks for sharing your photos, Meghan. I loved watching every minute of the Games and loved seeing your beautiful city. I've been to London a few times but it reminded me I must get back again. The people were lovely and the history, of course, is breath taking. Love your blog!
