China on 8/8/08

So, most of my day was spent getting really excited for the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics. It's strange because I'm not psyched about the Olympics being hosted by China. I think the government has a lot of human rights issues that it needs to deal with and it upsets me a lot. For a lot time I thought I would just boycott the Olympics this summer and not watch them. Over the last few months I changed my mind, and we'll just have to wait and see how the whole thing plays out. All I have to say is right now Ben and I are watching the Opening Ceremonies and I am amazed - it is beautiful.
