Today marks the beginning of an exciting next few days. First of all, not sure if I mentioned this yet, but tonight we are going to see one of my musical heros who just happens to be playing a solo show here in London while we just happen to be here for the Olympics and just happened to be able to get tickets (much thanks to my tenclub membership!). Yup, Eddie Vedder is playing tonight at the Hammersmith Apollo Theatre and we're super pumped!
Tomorrow the entire rest of the crew arrives so all 39 of us will be here. It's bittersweet for is because while it will be exciting for everyone to arrive and all move into our new place (two big rented houses across the street from each other), it'll be sad to leave our current hosts, who have been absolutely spectacular to us! We have been truly blessed to have them as hosts (and spoiled)!! In comparison I realize that we have a thing or two to learn about hosting people. Wow! Can't say enough good things about them! Last night they made us a "Sunday roast" - roast chicken with all the fixings. Spectacular. (I was a little confused at first because with their accect I thought they we're saying "Sunday rice" lol.
Then of course on Wednesday, Reuben dives with Alex in the 3m synchronized diving event and they do have a legitimate chance at a medal so of course (now this goes without saying) we're pretty excited. To say the least! Wow, could the next few days get any better!
Cute side note: we stopped at Burger King (don't judge us, it was late, we were jetlagged and starving and it was there)... and the kids insisted we order onion rings so that they could make them into Olympic rings! Priceless.
