Shawn Johnson Finally Won Gold Last Night!






Good Morning from Beijing, where it is Wednesday August 20th, but evening Miami time. So you haven't seen it yet, but I don't care. Shawn Johnson finally won a gold medal on the balance-beam.

In some of the strangest gymnastic scoring, they finally didn't have a choice..she was the best and there was no stealing this one. Nastia took the Silver medal. Yeah!

I'm finally done with some of the events until this Friday and time to party in Beijing. We have been to a few clubs & bars while here. I loved the Lan Club, Suzie Wong & China Doll. We had a few American friends join us!

Next I'm going to show you some sights & sounds of Beijing. Also what we've been eating and the shopping is really something else. Everything is about bargaining here. You are suppose to end up at about 50% of whatever their offer is. Your suppose to say "No No" too expensive and walk away so that they come & chase after you. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't...lol! There are no "real antiques" in the market place, but still nice things for gifts and around the house.

Lili & I want to take a day trip to Lijiang, which has been declared an old historic city. It's like time stopped there in China. We have so much to share with you! We will return later with more pictures & information!

Giam Pa (I hope I spelled that right)
