August 9 - Diversions

The day after the Opening Ceremonies, and everyone slept in. The plan was just to relax. Aileen Chu made plans to take me somewhere to have custom made Chinese dresses. The five story building was packed with vendors.

I have now learned how valuable our pins are. Everywhere, the girls were accosting us, wanting to see and take our pins. It actually became scary, until we learned we could bargain with the pins as incentives. So, how much more you can discount if I gave you TWO more pins??

In the evening, I was fortunate to get a ticket to see some swimming action. The aquatic center was beautiful.
