  3. Maybe you don't want to compete with that, Carolyn. I was watching a report on the BBC last night showing the eviction of a Chinese family to make way for showpieces like these. If you're interested, check out the report at http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/jamesreynolds/2008/07/olympic

  5. This is just beautiful. It is as close to the Olympics as I will probably get. No, I guess I shouldn't say that because I will watch some of it on tv.

    The topiaries are outstanding. It takes so many years for them to grow I wonder how they got them so large so quickly.

    The music to the video was good too. I usually can't understand a thing they say but this was very Europeanized. Is that a word? tee hee

  6. Thanks, Lisa. Yes I think 'Europeanized' is a word much like ' Americanized' : )

    If we get the Olympics next time around you could surely visit Chicago then. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
