Today, Sunday June 28 we awoke to the drum beats and festive atmosphere of the dragon boat races right next to our rooms at the training center. Taking a break from training, we spent the day shopping at both the Chenghuang Temple and Nanjing Road, punctuated by two fantastic meals. Lunch was hosted by Mr. Hua from the training center at the Shanghai Steamed Bun restaurant (so much more than steamed buns). Dinner was overlooking the Bund area and the Huangpu River hosted by K'96 alum Bobby Ireland, who is currently living in Shanghai. Lunch ended up being a farewell to our wondeful travel companion and translator Chris Chen. Thanks for everything Chris!!! Tomorrow we get back in the gym to train with the Shanghai Youth Team (ages 16 and up) and then compete in the afternoon.
From the other side of the world,
Coach
