August 16 Back to Work

Yesterday was relaxing and fun visiting the Great Wall, Summer Palace, dinner and my best nights rest since I've been gone. I think the weather gods had something to do with it...it was absolutely beautiful!
Today the team trained at BNU and immediately following practice they traveled to the Water Cube for afternoon practice. Megan and I got a couple of tickets for the badminton match tonight..we are both very excited. WE are trying to go to the USA vs. Poland women's volleyball game tomorrow...we'll see!
Things are starting to go fast so it is very important for the girls to slow things down and be still so the experience and the games don't get away from them. I am really proud of them and and how they are doing...I know they are not only swimming for themselves but for all of USA Synchro... great job girls!!!
