While we were in Aspen, the Olympics started. It has been really exciting actually. While watching some of the different sports (in the little down time we have) it's an opportunity for young and old to learn more about geography, sport rules, and even some sports that we've never seen.
The Olympic highlight thus far for us was on the plane ride home (which was delayed by about 2 hours). We saw the US men's swimming team win the 4x100 relay by just a breath (beating out the French).
Michael Phelps, Garrett Weber-Gale, Cullen Jones and Jason Lezak (our rabbi's cousin BTW-how cool is that?), The plane (Frontier) has TV's on the back of each seat and everyone was cheering. It was incredible. Michael Phelps is striving for 8 gold medals in one Olympics. AND, I believe he is in the running for the most Olympic gold medals ever. WOW is all I can say. And dedication. I am just in awe of these athletes.
To backtrack - before we left Aspen, we got in an evening of just adult talk with Ron and Nancy which was soooooooo relaxing. Ahhhh...an uninterrupted sentence.
