Words can hardly describe the awesome opening ceremony held today at the Beijing Birds-nest stadium. The sounds, sights, dancing, music and firework displays were beyond description.
I really liked the 29 footsteps depicted with fireworks “walking” across the night sky of Beijing.
Well done Beijing/China, you outdid yourselves and the world watched in awe as you showed us so many different faces of your country and its people’s, all 56 different ethnic groups!
I learnt so much today just from this opening ceremony and I know that a new benchmark has been set for others to try and emulate or better in the future.
I managed to get these photo’s off the net
Now let the games begin!!!

When I first read this post yesterday afternoon, I hadn’t yet seen them. They were shown delayed in the U.S., not live. And they made me wait for so long I fell asleep in my chair during the entrance of the atheletes. Sigh. I will have to rely on the replays of the highlights today. But I got to see the first part with the dancers and the drummers and the things that happened before the entrance march.
