Missed the actual opening, but saw a lot of the parading of the different countries. Yes, I saw Israel, Africa, but you know what, I even missed the USA.

Here in South Africa, it started at 2 pm, so my DH and I sat and watched the whole thing. It was amazing! Their ideas were incredible and spectacular. Love watching certain events like the gymnastics, swimming and diving. *4U

Got out Chinese dishes a friend gave me , order chinese food and sat and watched as long as I could...Plan on celebrating each event in some special way. Last night it was quite a production. I wish them all good luck.

Hello dear oldandgrey,
I did, last night. I was absolutely exhausted after a long day at work, but I was glued to the TV. What a massive production! They should be very proud of their achievement!!***

Looked forward to it all day, phone rang just prior the start, but was free to watch about an hour later. Would have liked to see all of it, but must have nodded off in the chair because it was 3.30am when I woke and finally decided to go to bed... so who lit the flame and how??

I watched until the end! Hubby didn't make it however! But it was really about 12 hours earlier than we got it here in the states. Was really an awesome event, huh? It's now 12:30 AM and I have things to do before I go to bed!
