Day 20,
Today was our final day in Australia. We had one last activity beforewe left, which was to visit the current Olympic site. We were reallly excited and couldn'twait to see everything. The first thing we saw when we got there was Stadium Australia. This is where all track and field events and the opening ceremonies were to be held. We were probably some of the few people who would get to see this place empty anytime soon. We not only got to see the stadium, but we were allowed to raise the American flag for them. After raising it we got a group picture taken.
After that we went to see the Superdome. We were shown everything including the locker rooms that players would use. The dome was really huge and I could just imagine how chaotic it would be when it was filled. Our tour guide told us all the specifics like how many people it could hold andall about the acoustics it had. It was really intertesting but we couldn't stay long because we had to go to the airport.
As we arrived at the air port you could tell that everyone was sad to be leaving. After checking or baggage we had to say goodbye to our travel manager and the delegation we had been traveling with. There were more than a few tears shed as we boarded the plane and headed home. We managed to make it through another 16 hour flight and several shorter ones as we returned home. Despite the sadness at our trip ending we were excited to be home again and see our parents. After such an amazing trip it was definitely a bittersweet ending.
