watching Olympics

So far my favorite things to watch, besides the gymnastics and swimming, are the views of the UK--Tower Bridge, Parliament, the Globe, Piccadilly Circus, Stonehenge, the White Cliffs--make me almost wish I were there. Except that when the Olympics were here, we didn't go--didn't make any attempt to go--avoided the venues--and when we were in London for the Jubilee we again avoided the crowds (and the rain) and watched on tv. But seeing London so beautifully captured makes us a bit homesick (London-sick?). Not our kids, who have repeatedly commented, "Been there, done that," but are very happy to be home.
