Off to the London Games » heathrowexpress

My press credential gets me free rides on mass transit, and Olympic organizers are encouraging everyone to take the London Express train, which reaches Paddington Station in just 15 minutes. Organizers are trying their best to make these Games environmentally responsible, and maximizing the use of trains and subways isn't just practical, it's also green.

Saw the first of many Olympic billboards. This let's-rally-behind-the-Games display offered a touch of British humor.
By early afternoon I was on my way to the Olympic Park. That's the Olympic Stadium in the distance. The main press center is in that same complex and will be my home for nearly all my waking hours over the next 22 days.
