The Opening Ceremony

Last night, like much of the world, my eyes were glued to the television screen as the open ceremony of the Beijing Olympics unfolded. All I can say is wow. I watched in awe as...

  • Thousands of people moved in perfect unison,
  • Fireworks exploded, surrounding the "Bird's Nest",
  • And as the torch bearer suddenly flew into the air and ran around the rim of stadium.
The Chinese sure know how to throw a party. The pictures of the fireworks are especially spectacular. It really does look like a birds nest made of flaming twigs. Quite impressive.
