Fish and Chips take away, Steak and Ale or Lamb and Mint Pasties! I know I am not in the New Hampshire any longer. No, I am in London at the 2012 London Olympics. My first day here had me taking the train from Tiverton, Devon to London...smooth, fast, comfortable into Paddington Station then the Jubilee Underground to Canning Town to the DLR (Docklands Light Rail) to the University of East London, where I am staying for the next fortnight. After unloading things, I headed off to the Olympic Park and saw some diving practice and got to see the dress rehearsal for the Opening Ceremony...then I was back in my room by midnight. It was a long day and I am slowly learning how to find out when and where things are happening...but it will come along.
Michele Benedetti of Italy practicing for the 1 metre diving.
James Connor of Australia shows some good form in his 10 metre practice dive
Matt Mitcham, the reigning gold medalist in the men's 10 metre is in demand from the world press.
Qiang Huang and Bryan Nickson Lomas of Malaysia get their timing down for the 3 metre synchronized dives.
Fish and Chips, a British mainstay.
Cornish Pasties....mmmm
This is called "the Orbit." I haven't figured out what it is supposed to represent but I will and keep you posted.
