Soccer Tournament in Qing Dao

We recently went to play in a tournament in Qing Dao, China. The shots that you see here are from either my hotel room (5 star hotel) or when I went for my morning runs accross the street at the beach. It is definately a different experience to coach and travel with a school that is not on a public tax-payer budget. China is so full of suprises- it will be difficult to leave this place. Everytime we travel to a new area we are stuck by how diverse the country really is. I did not see this one coming....

Triathlon

Ty and I thought that it might be a fun challenge to learn to swim a little better and race in a mini-triathlon. We both worked hard to get up to speed with our swim. We ended up taking swimming lessons in Chinese! We did well in the race, Ty won first and I did alright on the girls side as well. We had a really good time training together.
