We will soon be on our way back to the states. We arrive at 11 p.m. on the same day we leave Beijing. Funny about the time change. We have many stories to tell anyone who is interested in hearing about the trip to Beijing 08. This is my fifth Olympics and they were very different from the past games in several ways. Nothing tops your first games, so Barcelona ranks up the highest for me, but we can talk about this one for hours.

Christina did have to go shopping this morning. We are bringing back two extra suitcases. See you soon.

Rick and Christina
