I walked in the Closing Ceremony (Sunday) night. It was a great experience, a great show and great closure to the Olympic Games.

Having athletes come together in unity, competition, and friendship is a true demonstration of some of the important things in life.

My participation in this Olympic Games has truly been a life-changing experience.  I have attached a few pictures from the evening.  Enjoy!

The show was great, but I don't know that they showed very many of the athletes, so you probably didn't see me.
