When they started bringing out the legends of music including B.B. King, Little Richard, Gloria, etc. Took field and got close to stages. Only strange thing was that as you got near stage, there was no sound - all speakers were at field perimeter facing stands after crush ing my way up front, drifted back to listen to the music and enjoy the show. Athletes,volunteers and performers mingled and danced until over. Tuesday, August 6 10a -racewalked out of village and around for about 1 hour.
City is a lot different now that the games are over.
Lots of deconstruction going on and virtually no people on the street. Empty vendor tents everywhere. Athletes from foreign countries hawking there team gear at the entrance to the village. 2p -Arrive at airport bound for D.C., bus parks on runway and waits for plane, eventually, United Boeing 747 arrives and bus drives up to plane and the athletes unload directly onto it.
