Our team had an awesome experience this evening at the opening ceremonies. All 76 cities walked into the stadium in front of a couple thousand cheering spectators. We were then treated to some music, the lighting of the flame and some amazing highland dancing. The atheletes had a fantastic time and are very excited for competition to start tomorrow. Pictures coming soon.

Mayor Eddie Francis met up with us at the residence hall.  We were able to have lunch with him and he is going out to the track to watch the track team warm up.  Then he will make his way over to the pool to visit the swimmers as they warm up for competition tomorrow.
