It's been an unbelievable few days in Beijing. First off, the opening ceremony was something I will take to the grave. This experience is something no one, not even the most gifted writer could explain properly. I will do my best to depict the experience but this will still not do the actual event justice.
After his (President George. W Bush's) speech we mingled with the athletes and I met everyone on the basketball team! I got pictures with my favorite NBA super stars Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carlos Boozer, Jason Kidd, even Coach K posed for a quick snap shot with me!

I came down with a bit of the flu but not to worry I was in good hands with the USOC doctor who gave me some medicine and sent me on my way.
JD and I will be heading back to Qingdao. The racing begins on the 15th.
Time to go to work.
