Olympics 2012

Watching the Olympics at The Lodge, in Makeni, Lusaka

While the Olympics are still going on, these photos were taken when we were watching the opening ceremonies over a week ago. I really am trying to get better at posting more frequently and hopefully you all will see an improvement soon. 

Washed out by the flash

Kay and I headed out to a lodge to watch the opening ceremonies and have some dinner. Because of the time difference, the live showing of the ceremonies didn't begin until 10pm and end until after 1am. 


It was a bit of a late night considering I had to get up early for work the next morning however that didn't stop the beer from flowing for the Olympic shenanigans. I won't go into the uniqueness of this year's opening ceremonies because it was odd to say the least. I an say that I am greatly looking forward to what Brazil has to offer in four years. I could be wrong but I am expecting something like Carnival but on a global scale... what can be bad about that?

Zambia had a mediocre showing of 7 athletes. I can also say that none of them came home with a medal. Being team USA myself has made watching the Olympics a tad more exciting knowing we actually have a chance at winning. However watching Zambia compete did still have its highs, they just aren't as high as winning gold. While work and the occasional power outage has gotten in my way of full Olympic obsession I have still managed to get in some good events. I hope you all have been enjoying the competitions as well!
