Ma came home a bit early yesterday to see some of the opening ceremony for the Olympic Games.
She was just in time for Switzerland, home of the international Olympic Committee, sailing by!
We then were subjected to a rerun of the bits she missed.
Must say that Paris place is pretty cool even in the rain.
Did you know that Ma worked there and from her office she could see the Eiffel Tower sparkling on the hour each evening!
When she went on trips by train to Nestle HQ in Switzerland she’d get in late at night to the Gare de Lyon and follow the Seine in a taxi from the station to the office at Issy Les Moulineux to pick up her car.
So the epic events of today were familiar territory.
That flag ceremony and then that torch ceremony were incredible! The FLAME! Ma was crying buckets.
It’s such an amazing place. I think I’ll make it my first stop for a state visit. After all they did send us the Statue of Liberty.
I’ll be expecting Gaga and the unbelievable Celine to sing for me too! Oh and I’ll plan to arrive by balloon.
