Downtown and More

Here is a link to the video of the day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ6n3zChL3g

We had a great time heading downtown today. We did the subway just like we were experts at it (other than getting through the gate). Some of us struggled with using our cards to open the gates at the right time.

We rode bikes from the village to the subway (the long way thanks to our navigator). We should have listened to Jill.

There wasn't a whole lot to do there, but we had a good time. A Korean guy helped us get around and stayed with us for a while. He said he learned English and French from his smartphone.

Dinner was good, but I was worried after seeing the first two options (octopus then snails).

After we got back, I went for a run. The US team did a talent show. There are some good singers on the team. Jon Drummond did some great impersonations of people on the staff.

On the way back to my room, I heard a choir, so I went to see them. As I went out there, I saw Usain Bolt walking along. He had a group with him including a camera man, light and sound man and other people. It was pretty funny to see people so interested in him to follow him like that around the village. There is a church outside the village that put on the choir and gave us a few gifts. They were really good.

By the way, we also did some filming of athletes today. Back in the medical room I saw some athletes watching their practice video on laptops and iPads. So, it's good to know it's working and being used.
