Today we woke up at about 11:30 our time... and after going to bed around 4am, this was by far the most sleep we've gotten during our entire trip...
Around 2 o'clock Allie and I ventured out to Olympic Park. I cannot even begin to explain the incredible atmosphere that we experienced there. Everyone was just so excited and cheering and in the spirit just at all times. We shopped in the Olympic Megastore, and there is also the world's biggest McDonald's in the Olympic park. We didn't go in, but from the outside it was huge.
We hung out in the park all day, ate food, watched the games on the jumbotron, and got absolutely soaked from the rain. But it was a blast all the same.
Our tickets were to Great Britain vs Russia then Argentina vs Lithuania. Both games had surprisingly great atmospheres. The Great Britain game was obviously packed and then most of them didn't stay for the second game since it didn't start until 10 at night but there were insane amounts of Argentina and Lithuania fans and literally all of them had flags, posters, horns, you name it, they had it. They were also dancing in the stands and chanting, it was so fun.
Then during the Argentina game, Allie and I met some Argentina handball players (who were extremely good looking by the way) and they had asked us to sit with them and that was cool.
After the game we made our way home to go to bed, Monday is another early day.
