René's Final Symphony
This will be my last blog. It's now already a week since the Olympics ended with a more than beautiful spectacle and left us flameless. Yes, some tears in my eyes, why not? It was all so amazing and unreal, all those days. Now even when I'm back I can't explain how great it was to all the ones I talk about it. The Greek did it with pride, a lot of pride, they were proud of what they had achieved, and I think I am proud that I have added 0.0025% to all the work of the volunteers. That doesn’t seem to be much, but without me the Olympics wouldn’t be 100% but 99.9975% which is not that good result as it is now.
I would like to thank some people as they have made my life a lot more pleasant when I was in Athens, first there was Michael from transport, he provided music on the parking and always a smile, then Diederick. I know him already for years and we met each other in Athens during my first night in the HHH (were else?). He is the biggest hockey fan in Holland and I learned a lot of him just by sitting beside him at the stadium. He joined us in the nights also in the HHH. Then Manon and all her girlfriends, she was like an energy ball, didn’t stop dancing and she made me dancing too and she brought a smile on my face.
Hopefully Roberto will publish the pictures as soon as possible on the web, I didn’t even seen them myself by know and I’m getting more and more curious to see them and show them to my girlfriend and all my other friends. Roberto was also the cause I ended up in Athens for the Olympics, Thanks pal, for the idea and your company. It was (and I think I mentioned this already 20.000 times) the experience of a lifetime.
See you all somewhere, someday, somehow!!

Lieve Rene en Roberto,
(een Hollandse reactie mijn Engels is niet te publiceren...)
Enorm bedankt voor jullie enthousiaste verhalen en leuke avonden. Erg leuk om jullie te ontmoeten en wie weet ga ik in Turijn of Peking ook wel als vrijwilliger aan de slag....ik ben er in ieder geval bij beiden weer bij! Interessant om te horen hoe jullie het hebben aangepakt om als vrijwilliger aan de slag te gaan en wat een uithoudingsvermogen hebben jullie (noemen ze mij energy-ball)jullie gingen tot in de late uurtjes door en de volgende ochtend weer present in het Olympisch dorp of Olympisch Stadion....Wij konden iedere dag nog even uitblazen op het strand voordat we weer in oranje gewaad de tribunes op moesten om onze dames en heren aan te moedigen en vervolgens te huldigen in het HHH!Ook leuk dat jullie deze site hebben bijgehouden en we houden contact....reunie in Bois le Duc....
