Antwerp, Belgium -- Day 18
Another cross-Atlantic flight...didn't we do that last week?...And straight from the Montreal city celebration to the flight and straight to the start of the relay in Antwerp...I remember the quaint Olympic stadium and thinking how amazing it was that the Games were held there in 1920...Factoid of the day: At those Olympics the Olympic rings emblem made its first appearance as the Olympic flag was first unfurled. And that same flag, thereafter called the 'Antwerp' flag, was hoisted at every subsequent summer games through the 1984 LA Olympics. It is now retired at the Olympic museum...An overcast sky for the city celebration...And was that the dirty dozen throwing back drinks off the square after the day's work?...
