Ok, since the first pictures I posted weren't so easy to see, I'll make these next ones bigger so you can see them better! How's that? :) These are just pictures of some cool buildings around the city. The Water Cube should be familiar to you.
I feel like such a fraud! Remember my autograph signing? Well, today a couple of girls came up and asked if they could get a picture taken with me (I'm a star! hee hee). Pretty soon there was a crowd around us and everyone wanted to get a picture taken with me.....AAAGGHHH! What can you do except smile and let them take a picture? It's really embarassing. Rachel just sits back and laughs.......We decided that if I'm going to be an athlete then I'd better have a competition - so we decided it would be Wheelchair Speed Ramp (who has the fastest time going down the ramps in a wheelchair. Without running into anyone.) I'll let you know how that turns out......
So now to the real athletes.....today was Eric's first day of elimination competition. We spent the day at the Olympic Archery Field cheering him on. Here are a few pics of him shooting. It's really cool to watch him shoot with only one arm. I can't even do that with two perfectly good arms! He's trying to recruit me into taking up archery and going to the 2012 London Paralympics. (Hmmmmm.........maybe then I could give autographs legitimately.....it's a thought, isn't it?).
Eric's competition finally came down to a tie breaker between him and a Korean guy (this guy beat him by one point in their last competition before the Paralympics). Sweet revenge for Eric - he beat him by one point for the tie-breaker! Which puts Eric in the next round of eliminations tomorrow and one
step closer to a medal. GO TEAM USA!!!!
