Trip 2: Week 14 Progress

Sunday, August 17, marked a day of progress.

Henry & I attended the Women's Indoor Volleyball Preliminary Poland vs. USA! It was a great game. Very exciting to watch and full of fans cheering mostly for Poland. But after a very tight game in which Poland looked like it was going to take the lead, the US team pulled through with a victory. Hurray for Poland fans coming out in force though. The US was weakly represented in terms of fan base. I wonder if that was just this game or if there aren't many hardcore US fans traveling with the Olympics this time around. I wonder if US in general has less traveling fans? The only other event we attended was rowing, and there was an even worse showing.

Even in the family stands, I only say 2 American flags and multiple other flags to represent the other international athletes' countries! We better show up in force in London. I can understand not making it out across the world, but it was a great opportunity for anyone interested in China. In any crowd of Olympic tourists, you are bound to hear voices from GB or Australia. I wish Americans traveled more.

A great tension breaker was the clean up crew! How cute are these guys...

I have officially updated my facebook status to "warming" to the Olympics.
