Visting the Olympic Stadium

We had an adventure en route to the Olympic Stadium!  Our subway stopped, but not at a station, and we saw people/workers going by in the dark who opened our door and asked what we were doing in the train. We told them we were going to the Olympic Stadium, and they said we were supposed to have gotten off earlier (unbeknownst to us).  We were able to ride one stop back, and reroute on a different line, with plenty of time to meet our private tour guide (pictured with Henry below) at the Olympic Stadium, who gave us a "history" tour of the stadium. In the picture of the stadium, you can see the place being set up for a Rolling Stones concert on Friday night.
