September 17

We had the morning off today so I got to sleep in.  I got up around 10:30.  I got some breakfast and a few of us went to the mall.  It was a nice mall, a lot better than I expected.  It was pretty big also.  It was kind of weird, there was a meat market and a fish market there.  They were set up like a food court in the malls in the US.

Also another thing that takes a little getting used to is driving on the "wrong" side of the road.  They drive on the left side of the road, so every time I get into a car I think we are going to crash.  But I am getting used to it.

After the mall I came back here and relaxed until practice.  At practice Bruce put us through some drills and then we wrestled matches.  I only wrestled one.  I felt good, better than yesterday, better than ever.  That's what the plan is, to get better everyday, so I am right on track.

After wrestling I got in a lift and then got stretched out.

I came back to my room and took a shower and then went to eat.  While in the cafe, we watched some of the cycling and swimming on tv.  There were a bunch of us in there along with some Australians.  We were both cheering, and when the US did well we cheered and when the Aussies did well they cheered.  Its was fun.

After dinner we went to see a movie.  I saw Gossip which  was good.  Then we came back here and just relaxed.

12 days 'til competition begins...
