I loved every minute of them
London did a superior job - from the wonderful, imaginative Opening Ceremony to the Closing.
Glad England took so many medals and placed third in medal count.
My one disappointment is with NBC - I know the American National Anthem; in the old days the national anthem of gold winners was broadcast and it was wonderful to hear and see their flag.
NBC went totally jingoistic, not to their credit.
Everyone I know who watches the Games wants to see competitions, not listen to/watch Brokow and Costas talking to each other.
That said, the games themselves were thrilling, especially gymnastics and the syncronized diving.
