All of the luggage has arrived!  Clean underwear, deodorant - you name it - we have it!  What a busy day we've had.  The group got up early & headed to the Acropolis at 8:30.  I heard they got some great pictures.  I'll have to see them with you because Chris & I were picked up to go to work at 9:00 so we didn't get to go.  The group went to the new Acropolis Museum.  I saw it the last itme I was here & it's quite amazing.  As you enter, there are acrylic floors so you can look down on the ruins.  Karen & Paulette were having no part of that.  Arnetha finagled a table to be set up down on the patio & they had lunch (OK - dessert) while everybody else saw the museum.  When they got back to the hotel, Joey was there, luggage & all.  Everybody went on the bus to move the girls into the athlete's hotel, which overlooks the beach.  AHHHHH!  The parents hitched a ride back to town on the bus & were waiting when Chris & I returned.  In the lobby, we met a lady from Fla. whose son is competing in power lifting.  She's here alone, so we invited her to dinner.  We all went to the Plaka & ate Greek food at an open air cafe, then moved to a second cafe for dessert.  Yes - we walked it off!  What a perffect evening to sit outside & have the luxury of being able to sit as long as we wanted.

Chris & I went to the venue this AM.  There was a corporate basketball tournament going on, so nothing was set up for our event yet.  We did the draw, rotations, all the little details.  We walked over to powerlifting & got some official training.  We had cookies for lunch & before we knew it, the clock said 4:00 so we headed back to the hotel.

Tomorrow night, we have Opening Ceremonies!  Let the games begin!  Can't wait.
