Final Practice before the Opening Ceremonies!

Hey all,

Well it was just your run of the mill average day here for the National Dragon Boat Team.

We woke up this morning and had another awesome breakfast. We got to the race course traveling with our new Iranian buddies.

We went out in a couple of different boating line ups, practice our starts and did timing drills. We came back in and had our lunch, then after lunch went out to catch our bus, the only problem is the bus left without the whole team. We had to wait another 2 hours for the next bus. When we finally got back to the hotel we had to show our credentials so that race judges could verify we were American citizens.

With that out of the way we went out on the town with a couple of our team mates. We had a lot of laughs and a good time. Brittany had the famous lemonade beer and I had the local hungarian beer. We're going out for ice cream and fun times now.

Talk to everyone tomorrow, it is opening ceremonies :)
