Oouuuu Aaaa The Houses at the Olympic Games, THE HEINEKEN HOUSE

Am not sure what the London House, The Swiss House, The USA House, The Japan House, The Russian House or The Nike House were doing tonight but sure know what the Heineken House was up to!

Heineken did not take over a huge tent this olympics. Instead, a castle looking complex that is the huge Agricultural Center.

Thousands of orange Dutch sing’n and sway’n and wave’n their orange arms to the GREAT music of an incredibly awesome band. An olympic flame character was the main dancer, (yes, sounds strange but true) on the stage with the band leading the spirit of the crowd. Any time a medal is won at the olympic games, the houses are the places that the athletes go to please the crowd, celebrate together and feel their glory. Tonight not one but a whole team of hockey players thrilled us all.

Was planning on coming home early to write...but no way could I leave this gigantic celebration. This time it is 4:00! Zzzzz

Hi Carole--love your blog and can't wait to hear more--I bet you were helping the party too--
Was sorry to see the Dutch beat our women's water polo but it was a great game.
Hoping the men's team can win GOLD on Sunday--GO USA--

So happy you are in BEIJING!!!!!
Love Fran
