Hi Andrew,

I'm extremely envious, I tried unsuccessfully for swimming tickets, I really want to see the 1500m. I did go to the Mens Triathlon on Sunday though, and I'm going to 3 Athletics session with some great finals. I'm also seeing a session of Volleyball.

I've got to agree with you on the mood of the city, it's amazing.

>I went to the swimming last night - WOW. We were sitting right up the back of the 18000 seat stadium, but right in line with the finishing end of the pool. The atmosphere was incredible (of course, it did help that the Aussies won 2 gold and a bronze, including the 4x200m World Record)!

>The whole city is buzzing - it's a great feeling. We went into town the night before last and watched the big screens. People are all in fantastic moods - talking to anyone who happes to be alongside them at the time. All-in-all it's an exciting place to be at the moment.
