NAILS!!!

Today I got my nails done and they look great!! Take a look:

Ring Finger: Mauritius Flag
Middle Finger: Olympic Rings
Pointer Finer: British Flag (for London, of course!)
Pinky & Thumb: Red


The salon had a photo booth so I took a few pictures:

My wonderful nail artist, Roxanne Campbell!! :)

My friend, Christianne, from Judo.

I absolutely love my nails!  I'm planning on getting them done at least one more time before I go.  They might only be able to paint Olympic-related designs, but I'm going to ask for a hawkeye design on the last day! :)

Lunch with MORE Champions

Today I ended up eating lunch with the Mexican swim team.  As I sit down, I look up and two tables over is the American swim team... AGAIN.  Well some of them anyway: Nathan Adrian, Matt Grevers, Ryan Lochte, and Cullen Jones.  It's so weird seeing all of these people that I'm used to watching on TV.  After we've eaten, we get up to put our dishes and trays away.  Lochte was doing so at the same time and the girl on the Mexican team that I was sitting next to runs up and hugs him.  Apparently, they're good friends... (such a small world!)

SIDE NOTE: Ryan Lochte is much shorter in person.

Breakfast with Champions

This morning breakfast was pretty full, but I wasn't surprised because more and more athletes are arriving every day.  After I've gotten my food, I'm heading over to get a drink and a place to sit when I see the US swim team.  Of course, I'm intrigued!  My first thought: Where is Rachel!?  I can't wait to see her because it's a little piece of home that I'll have with me here in London.  In fact, we're having lunch together today!! Cant wait :D  Anyway, I kind of 'casually glanced' around their table as I walked by, looking for anyone interesting, and sure enough there is Michael Phelps.  Poor guy can't even enjoy a decent breakfast in the Olympic Village - He's sitting there in a hoodie and sunglasses along with 2 'body guards' (and his teammates of course).  But if we're being honest... his disguise was terrible.
