A few for my thoughts for you before I start my blog
-
Women in the Olympic have great legs
-
Sometimes, you wil be walking around Beijing, and it will just start stinking for no good reason
-
Taxis are so cheap, I don't think I have paid more than four American dollars for a ride anywhere
-
The Chinese language is very tough to read and speak
OK, so today we went to the Great Wall, and it is just mind boggling just to think of the time and effort put into that wall. It was very scenic, but the view wasn't that great because it was so overcast. It wasn't like at the Grand Canyon or in the Rocky Mountains where you can see forever. Today was also my last two-a-day, now it is just coasting into the Olympics. I am very ready to compete.
The day before, former president Bush was supposed to come into practice, but he got sick and just waved at us from the window. Tonight I got to go to my first Olympic event. I went to table tennis. It was very popular wth the Asian crowd. It is really interesting to see how many Olympic events that are obscure to the American public, from handball to badminton to speed walking to water polo. It just seems that the American contingent doesn't even try to win these events.
And what is going on with the Chinese lifters? They are winning every weight and breaking world records. Seems fishy to me. Not much else exciting going on here. I am just getting ready for bed. Have a good day
