My good friend Carrie sent me this link. I'm quite disappointed in myself. Only 59 countries in five minutes? I thought I'd do much better, especially having just watched the Olympics. Oh, and who knew that Vatican City is a country? Sheesh.

What a fabulous Olympic Opening Ceremony! I was absolutely awestruck. I heard earlier today that scalped tickets for the Ceremony were going for $50,000.00 and up. After seeing it on TV, I'm thinking it would have been worth every penny.
The dancers on this "planet" spent EIGHT MONTHS training to perfect their routine. I, for one, am grateful for their dedication as it was one of my favorite moments.
