Cathi Parker sends her thoughts from London
 

"I had a wonderful evening at the Opening Ceremonies celebration from the Canada Olympic House last night. Free food, drinks and amazing hospitality. The Governor General was at the house giving a speech for the official opening of the Canada House, along with Canada's famous Tenors singing to the crowd and making the Olympic moment a reality. I cried like a baby haha. So emotional. I think it all hit me at that moment ...  we are at the Olympics, we did it!

"After the ceremonies we walked to Trafalgar Square for another celebration showing the countdown clock at 00:00:00. Hundreds of people taking pictures, news reporters, TV stations were all creating their moments. We were pictured by several different photographers around the world and interviewed live by a Latino Television station. It was all such a buzz. Then we walked up the street to McDonalds for a snack, and even McDonalds was a party, London Town definitely was flowing with Olympic fever!!
Now tomorrow is more serious... competition time + game on!
