I can say, now that I'm home, that I appreciated the experience. That's not to say that I'm not absolutely loving having a shower that doesn't flood the bathroom every time I use it and I'm really enjoying the fact that I'm not rubbed up against random strangers every time I go to work, even if I am using public transportation. I don't miss my naked blue cubicle without any windows or the smog. I do miss the Olympic excitement and doing big things on the cheap, and I'm starting to miss my Insider's Guide, there wasn't one in Chapel Hill and now that I'm in Washington, I haven't found a comparable one.
But, back to my original purpose, pictures from my last day at the Olympics and inside the Olympic Green. It started pouring down rain when I hopped on my bus to the Tennis Green, so I missed the match and went on a very wet adventure through the parking lot at the media center. I have yet to receive my refund for those Olympic tickets, another frustration, but as I speak no Chinese, I am ill-equipped to email or phone the refund office.
Foggy day outside the National Indoor Stadium. 
Olympic runner sculptures. I really liked these.
Team USA on the vault. We were like 3 rows from them. 
Showing off our team spirit down in front!
