The first nights sleep

We all knew our internal clocks would be off with the all the traveling and wanted to do whatever we could to minimize the jetlag. I mean we completely skipped Monday July 28 because we passed the International Date Line. I did a good job with staying up as late as I could last night but after the big meal I was extremely tired. I probably feel asleep around 10 p.m. but woke up around 5 a.m. I just did some work on blog, checked on Toni at home to see if she was ok after the earthquake in LA and then went to breakfast and the gym. I have to say I slept really well and feel like I should be ok to get through today. I still haven’t seen my roommate Streeter because our schedules have been completely different so far. On the agenda for today is a tour of the Summer Palace and the Forbidden City and a tour of downtown Beijing. Some of our coworkers are heading to the Great Wall today but our group will go tomorrow. It’s nice being here so early before the games to be able to get a chance to explore China before we get to busy and things get to crowded.
