I can't believe it's been two weeks since we started...and now it's over! The entire day was filled with "lasts" - last time to check into security, last time to walk on the Green and last time to enter NIS.
The Olympic News Service volunteers gathered at a local bar to watch the closing ceremonies live on a big screen projection. It was incredibly awesome to watch it and be a part of it all. I couldn't help but feel sad as this was the end to the Olympics and our volunteer experience. It was also a celebration for our hard work the past two months.
So tired right now. I'm going to bed but I'll post pictures and video from the last day tomorrow. I feel like I've pushed so much to get as much as I can out of this experience and am really looking forward to some R and R. It has been so worth it!!!!
Enjoy the Closing Ceremonies - amazing visuals and use of people. As other news agencies have commented, Beijing has set a new standard for the Olympic celebration!
