A walking tour of the Olympic site

Not much has gone on in the last week because we all have been finishing up on homework for the end of the semester.  It is pretty crazy that we have only 1 week of class left.  We finish our classes up this Thursday and people leave as early as Friday to go back to the states.  It seems like only yesterday we arrived in a totally foreign land and now it is sad that people are leaving what we now call home.  So many new things that we have learned and grown accustomed too and now we are going back home to leave it all behind.

However, today we headed over to northeast London to do a walking tour of the 2012 Olympic site tour.  It was a very neat experience because all of it is built but the area is undeveloped.  The stadium is going to hold 80,000 people and is brand new.  It is quite the stadium.  We also saw a lot of the surrounding area of the Olympics such as aquatic center, new flats for the athletes, transportation for the Olympics, and other areas.

Other than that, not much is new.  I am getting pretty excited to have my Dad fly over and show him the whole European thing.  Should be a whole new experience in Eastern Europe.

Hope all is well back home,

Cheers

Jimmy
