Garett and I attended a black tie party on a luxury yacht which cruised down the Thames last night during the Opening Ceremony. There were 200+ people on the boat. The men looked debonaire in black tie (including a couple of men in white tuxedo jackets channeling James Bond). The women wore all different styles of sparkly, beaded and feathered dresses. The mood was festive, starting with the champagne as we boarded the boat. Being London, it rained a couple of times - but otherwise we could enjoy the evening air. It was really amazing to see London at night from the river and to pass beneath the Olympic rings.
Ryan was back at the flat with Diana and stayed up late to watch Romania (Diana's home country) and team USA enter the stadium. Ryan's assessment of the show: "The first acts were really boring and endless except when the Queen parachuted down from a helicopter".
