Pouring rain & lightning...yikes!

It's 7:45 a.m. right now and it is POURING RAIN with a touch of lightning thrown in! We are hoping the rain and wind lighten up a bit before our 2000m race at 11:30 a.m. We'll try to post tonight!

The opening ceremonies on Friday were great and the Welcome Dinner last night was fantastic! The food...can we just talk about the food for a second? It's by far the best I have ever had at an international event before...we are spoiled rotten!

Members of our team have been interviewed for TV at least 4 times as well as Coach Jeremy...but he's the only one that's been asked for an autograph so far! Could his head get any bigger? LOL!
Some members caught the sports edition and saw our whole boat during the 200m race on TV...wow! We're hoping to get a copy so we can share.

Oh, and did anyone mention pineapple yet? The BEST EVER EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!

Ok, the Hungarians are waiting for the computer and I will be a polite American and sign off now.

The comraderie between all the teams is wonderful...the best part of why we are here.

Later gators,
Eyeball

You are all Oregonians, keep your heads dry and your paddles wet!

Love hearing all about the trip and the hardware. Rockford Radio is now giving updates; so GANG GREEN is not just multi-continental, but multi- regional.
