On Sunday August 10th - Caroline, her friend Katie and I had a chance to go to two events in Beijing. One was women's gymnastics and the other was men's basketball. I have always been impressed by gymnasts - they do things that to me seem impossible. Seeing them live gave me a new appreciation for how difficult it really is. The balance beam is only four inches across - yet they can do flips and jumps and land on it every time. I don't know how...
Basketball was amazing - we had seats 5 rows back from the floor and got to see two great games - Spain vs. Greece and Lithuania vs. Argentina. In the Lithuania vs. Argentina game - we got to see a last second game winning shot - which was punctuated by the Lithuania cheering section going absolutely bonkers - I mean bezerk. Quite a day!
