Let The Games Begin

Let The Games Begin.

Let the games begin has been a popular starting slogan which is actually an order that was given by emperors in Olympics in Ancient Greece after sacrifices* to the gods were completed to start the Olympic Games. This phrase is still used today. Nice on Black.

It looks like everyone wanted to watch the Opening Ceremony for the Olympics in Paris, including Daphne, my sister-in-law's kitty. So cute!

I love watching all the Olympics but I am especially looking forward to the Equestrian events being held at the Chateau de Versailles.

*100 oxen were killed during this religious festival and games in honor of Zeus, King of the Greek Gods :(
