Today is the last day of equestrian competition, this morning and this evening. The current plan is that the post party is at the hotel bar. It will kinda depend of they all get there early enough to convince the bar to stay open later. Tomorrow might be a tiring day.

Last night Curli, Mark and I went to the evening individual freestyle. We ended up glumming together with some of the grooms and riders we knew to get into the family and team seating. The view was very good. There were two medal presentations at the end. Since we were with the family and grooms I might have been on TV when the South African was presented with a gold medal. It was pretty fun. Something different at the paras vs. olympics is that everyone cheers for everyone else. Very cool people here.

That is all from Honk Honk for now.

Last night was the Paralympics opening ceremonies. This time around we did not make the cut to attend which was probably good. The teams in Hong Kong all had to get dressed up in formalish atire and watch the opening ceremonies from the Hong Kong Jockey club. What we heard it was very boring.

Mark from the Australian office arrived on site yesterday. He was originally due early the previous day but his 8 hour flight from Melbourne was delayed 8 hours. Since we were not invited to the party we ended up acquiring a couch for the office while everyone else was getting all formaled up.

The morning funny occurred while waiting at the breakfast bar egg cook station. Behind me is some guy from the Indiana side of Louisvile here on business not related to the Olympics or Paralympics. Then behind him is a Canadian, his wife is a rider, who is from Langley. About 20 miles from Abbotsford twords Vancover.

No big plans now that competition is starting.
