Another Olympic shot


Here are the events that my son attended at the Olympics.
He went to 5 events:
1) woman's gymnastics (1st heat china and romania)
2) woman's basketball (NZ v Spain, Czech v Mali)
3) Men's quarterfinal soccer (italy v belgium)
4) Women's quarterfinal beach volleyball (USA v China, Australia v Brazil)
5) Men's Gold medal waterpolo (USA v Hungary)
This is the gymnastics event....he said he had nosebleed seats but was not complaining since his tickets were free!
I just love this picture!

  3. They are steep seats! I saw the England team play football at Old Trafford stadium (in Manchester) a few years ago and the seats were so high up I was expecting oxygen masks to drop down from the ceiling!

  7. Hi Neva!
    In Beijing, with free tickets; what else? :)

    I’ll finally get some days off this year; not much, just from Friday night (September 5th) through Monday morning (September 15th). But I don’t leave you empty hands: a beautiful beach and lots of champagne wait for you at Blogtrotter. Enjoy! ;)

  8. I would say he is very fortunate to travel to China and back and see the 2008 Olympics. And this is a nice photograph too.

    Here is a shot I took at Shiogama, Japan 54 years ago when color film first came out Thunder Maker
