Closing ceremonies were great....

Also... maybe you saw it - last night they did a wrap--up similar to Seattle's post on 'small countries'... it wasn't really just 'small countries'... but they were plentiful.

I have such admiration for the dedication these athletes from around the world possess. In a world gone mad, seemingly, they give me hope.... we are NOT what the media and the politicans say we are... even with our faults. God bless all the athletes from around the world... and may you conquer us cynics. - JamesJM
