Today was an adventure of a different sort to get to the National Olympic Stadium, where we saw the opening-day events of track and field. Departing our hotel at 7:30 a.m., it took us nearly two-and-a-half hours to get there, mainly because of a decision to take a shuttle bus instead of walking to the "Bird's Nest" after we arrived by subway at the Olympic Green perimeter. In addition, the subway was the most crowded that we've seen. The horrific traffic jam resulted in us taking an hour-and-a-half to travel the distance that we could have walked in about 20 minutes! Oh well . . . part of the learning experience!
