London Olympics 2012

I think we were the only people to get excited about Olympic "Football" because after entering the lottery for this, and only this, we got the tickets. 18th row at the Men's Quarter Finals ended up being a fantastic match.  Mexico vs Senegal, and it was 2-2 into overtime and ended 4-2 Mexico.

A quick lunch with a few beers


Inside the stadium...85,000 people in attendance



 
 After the game, we met up with Jenna, a friend from Dallas.  We took her to the oldest wine bar in London, Gordons on Villier St.
 And then it was to Sophie's for drinks and dinner
 And finally, Josh, at the end of the night with the weird one-eyed Olympics mascot.

Sunday morning we woke up to the women's marathon right outside our hotel


 
The runners followed us to St. Pauls where we were going for lunch.  We took the tube, they ran.

A great weekend in London, and so unbelievably cool that we have been to the Olympics!
