Olympics Day 1
Hey Everyone!! This is the first official Blog from the Olympics!! It's great to finally be here. Aftre 60 some odd games on tour, it's nice to be in one place too play. The flight was quite long, but I got lucky enough to sit by some teammates and several other athletes. ( Cycling, Syncronized Swimming & some Track & Field athletes were also on our flight). On the flight I chit chatted, watched part of Lost (Season 2) read magazines, played Nintendo DS and tried to sleep, yet it still seemed long! We had our first day of practice today. We practiced at 12:00 pm the same time that our games are at. It was good to get some time on the main field. The Dining Hall, is probably one of the coolest things about the Village. It has it's on McDonalds in it! and a McD's Cafe, for the coffee drinkers. The food is also good, tonight for dinner I had salad, salmon and little bit of pasta. All of it was excellent, which surprised me I didn't really think that the Salmon would be that good, but it was AWESOME! Now I have to figure out what to do with the food I brought with me!! ... snacks maybe? We see a ton of different countries in the cafeteria, all parts on the world all different cultures. It is actually a very humbling and amazing sight to see. You can be sitting next to someone from Ireland, Estonia, Brasil, or Oceania. It is a sight to see, great for people watching. It's 10:00 right now, and most of America is starting their day. I on the other hand am going to bed to sleep off the remaining jet lag. God Bless, Monica #14
