Day Nine: Here Comes The Sun
Since I’ve been a slacker up to this point and haven’t posted any photos in my updates, I decided to shorten my daily post in favor of some of my favorite shots. So here’s a recap of my ninth day, in nine sentences.
I woke up to the most beautiful day we’ve had since I arrived in Beijing. (Yesterday was first the smoggiest and then the rainiest day yet.) Three days ago, I saw the sky for the first time. Today, I got reacquainted with my old friend Mr. Sun. This afternoon, I watched the two best female gymnasts in the world perform flawlessly in the all-around competition and I’ll just say I’m glad I wasn’t a judge. But it was a neat feeling to know that when gymnastics fans wake up in the morning, they’ll read my story to find out what happened. (Wannabe Mary Lou Alyssa thinks that is awful nifty.) Tonight, I had yet another yummy dinner and celebrated Alison’s last night in China, then partied it up at Club Bud. I’m beginning to get the hang of this place.
