The Night Before the Games Begin!

The night before the games began, a lot of people were driving along the Corniche--kind of like "cruising state." They had banners and fireworks and music. It was fun.

The smoke in the picture above is from fireworks--YES, FIREWORKS in the middle of traffic. Real smart.

Nothing like leaving things until the last minute. The DAY BEFORE the games began they were still putting up banners, paving roads, and installing lights.
