Today is the opening day of the Summer Olympics. I am so excited. There will be lots of Royalty Watching.
And, bells will be ringing EVERYWHERE. Literally, the people of London and throughout the UK plan to ROYALLY RING IN the 2012 Summer Olympics with lots of cheer starting at 8:12 GMT (3:12AM for those on the East Coast) when Big Ben (now Elizabeth Tower) is set to strike 40 times.

| Ring your bell in the US, too! |
The whole project to set a world record for the largest number of bells to be rung simultaneously is called "Work No 1197" and is part of a Mr. Martin Creed's brain child...."Any Bell. Anyone. Anywhere." If you don't have a bell, get the ringtone here. I wonder if Queen Elizabeth has a cell phone or if she will use a regular bell.
So long! I'm off to People Watch. There are LOTS of them in London right now.

| Ok, IF I had ACTUALLY been at the Olympics, I'd have sent this postcard. |
