We tried to stay up and watch the grand finale and ending of the olympics, but it was a bit too late for us so we’ll watch the last hour on line afterwards. France has really delivered and the games have been great with maybe the exception of the swimmers getting sick after being in the Seine.. Next summer olympics will be in Los Angeles. Can’t wait!
