I’ve been out of touch electronically while I’ve been in Singapore all week. I’m really glad to be back in Beijing!

What a transformation! It’s like they got an air transplant! Clear, blue skies, lower humidity, and fifteen degrees cooler! It’s invigorating.

I’ve missed the Olympic Village and all the wonderful eating opportunities. There is so much food to choose from here, and (I have mentioned that I enjoy my dining adventures – haven’t I?) I am really glad to be back.

I went to cheer for our track and field team mates today. I really am ready to compete! I envied them out there going for it!

My mom will be here tonight. She should be nearing Tokyo soon. I can’t wait to see her.
My training schedule and travel along with the fact that there was no wireless connectivity in Singapore have made blogging impossible for the past week. I’m looking forward to having a regular connection and more time to communicate.

Oh! I rode a hot air balloon in Singapore! That’ll be a story for my next blog.

Thanks for your interest! Stay tuned to cheer for Team USA! What an experience!
