I’m excited—and nervous—for the Olympics Opening Ceremony today at 1:30pm (EST).
They were very busy getting ready when we were there in December.
They are planning the first ever outdoor ceremony. The 7,000+ athletes are going to parade in on boats floating down the Seine. I can’t even imagine the logistics involved in planning something like that in a city as old and iconic as Paris. From the weather to security, there are so many things that could go wrong. And I’ve just read that there has been a malicious arson attack on several railway lines there. I hope all the performers are still able to get to their spots.
But if they can pull it off, I think it’s going to be next-level!
Godspeed Paris. The world is with you. 🤞🏼🇫🇷 🌎
(I’d use those two free plane tickets to go back in slightly warmer weather.)
