You can feel the energy building! Lots and lots of visitors are already here. The cruise ships to house fans and security are docked and occupied. The flags are flying. The City has been cleaned up.

We’ve invited the World – and representatives of that world are here – more to come – everything seems to be ready though last minute panic is setting in – there’s always something that will go wrong no matter how well anything is planned and organized. Let’s hope for the amateur athletes, it’ll be a great experience!
