Today they cancelled all of the track events. Ann and I got to the stadium for Sara's 400m finals about 5 minutes before the team headed back to the hotel. Nothing has been rescheduled yet and given how it is raining I am not sure that tomorrow won't be a wash out as well. They said that Sara could hang with us for the afternoon but she would have none of that.
Today was the first work day that we have been here due to the national holiday week. Our hotel overlooked a big highway interchange that didn't look bad last week. This morning with the return to work and the rain was a different story, what a mess. In China there is no such thing as yielding to pedestrians. It is every man, bicyclist, motor scooter and car for themselves. Interestingly enough there are few fender benders or people splatted on the hood of a car. It is also quite a sight to see a family of four riding on a Vespa, all of course with no helmets.

Hi,
Thanks for keeping us updated. I was wondering if the rain was hitting you. The Brown family wishes you good luck.
