Hi
Sorry for the delayed postings, things have been ramping up as we near game time. Having incredible experiences hopping around to the different venues. Have seen Judo (visually impaired), Tennis (Quad and Para), Boccia (Cerebral Palsy), Track (amputee and Wheelchairs), rowing (various), Cycling (various) and swimming (multiple levels of disability from Visual, through Amputee, to CP). Have not posted any pics as seems to be loading and internet issues. Have been trying to do pics first and have time to do them but not 5 times and failing..........not sure what is going on.
Tonight is opening ceremonies and you can realy feel things intensifiying, but in a very good way. The organizers continue to amaze with their efforts and thoughtfulness. Usually at opening ceremonies the athletes marshal 4-5 hours before the ceremony begins and are then in some holding area some where they can not see what is going on for the first several hours of the show, prior to marching out. For today we marshall out front of our rooms only 2.5 hours prior to the show, and then have been told that we will march in first, and then the show!!!....Awesome!.
Truly have never met people as interesting, and easy to get along with as this group of individuals. Watching them do there various activities I realy think "disabled" is the wrong term, but not sure what the correct term may be. Got to go for now, athletes are marshalling and cant wait to march in with this incredible group.
