Some more medals

On Sunday we went back to the Tennis Center to watch Dave in the men's quads singles medal ceremony. First we stopped by the Olympic Center to see an exhibit with some Terra Cotta warriors from Emperor Qin's army.

This is a Terra Cotta soldier that was brought to the Olympic Center for display. Apparently, Emperor Qin had this army made to protect him after he died and was underground. The picture below is a photo of what part of the army looks like in its original location.


Being in the Olympic Center is really fun and it is especially fun to see the areas where the Olympics occurred in August.

We arrived at the Tennis Center in the afternoon for the medal ceremony. Watching Dave receive his second medal was exciting.

Congratulations to Dave! How awesome to come home with two medals and that you got to be there to witness the events.

You're really a funny writer Kristin. The cab and bathroom stories just make the blog! :D

Love, Wardeh
