Thanks for the invite but I can't imagine anything I would rather NOT watch." LOL! So, I haven't seen any of it. LOL! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Not that I'm biased or anything because a British girl won !! I dont watch the olympics, but I did see the end of the Womans road cycle race. And she was welsh. Hooray!!!!!!! You get good strong legs walking up those mountains. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Still, last night we watched the two American girls win the gold and silver in gymnastics, and again, I was blown away by their skills. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

In the swimming 19 year old Rebecca Adlington won gold for GB in 400m and 800m swimming (freestyle I think) and she broke the world record in 800m which had stood since 1989. Then we won gold and silver in cycling. It was great - we are 7th in the table and we should win more tomorrow. It was all very exciting! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
