Hello!

We are going to have our first practice today...I can't wait! It is windy here in the mountains where we are staying, but perhaps will be more mild down at the race venue. I love the climate here so much! The wind is warm, and makes alot of noise. It was fun to watch the wind blowing the fog around this morning!
Like Andrea said, there are the most amazing dragon flies everywhere! Here and at the race venue.
Just wanted to post and say hi to everyone! Miss you all!

I'm Debbie, (with Vanessa Lee's Dad) Thanks for telling us aobut this. It is as exciting for us to read as it is for you to be living. I'm wondering if during your practice on the Dragon boats there did they use similar commands as you were taught here?

Have any of you eaten Street vendor food?

Enjoy!

Hi, Debbie! No street vendor food yet. Between the hotel and the amazing athlete's cafeteria, we have been so well fed we haven't had to go anywhere else.
The race commands are similar, but they skip "prepare to start". It's just "attention" and then the start whistle, which they call a "peep". lol.
