The bad news is that Randy's photo card has something wrong with it and we don't have any photos! Kim sent me a few of her shots of Dave playing so I could share them on this blog. The blogs of our travel partners are also listed on the side if you want to check them out.
Today was a sun filled day at the Olympic Tennis Center. The process to get in and seated was much smoother. Dave's match was awesome. He plays again in the semifinals for singles on Friday. Tomorrow is his first match for doubles. He will play with his partner, Nick Taylor, on Center Court. He said it is on live tv, but I am assuming that is in China. If I find out anything different, I will post it on the blog. Nick won today in singles with a tiebreaker in the third set which was great. There will be two Americans in the quad semifinals (but not playing each other).After watching some other tennis matches, we headed out to meet Randy's friend, Jon Debeb, who flew in from Dubai. We met him for dinner along with Kim and Shane and had some tasty French food (random since we are in China). It was great to catch up and we will see him again tomorrow morning at the Forbidden City. We have a ticket for him to come watch Dave play tennis tomorrow.
One thing that keeps coming up in conversation is the toilet habits of the Chinese. We still can't get over the children in the crotchless pants. On the way home from the subway, we saw a little boy squatting and relieving himself right on the side of the road. We also saw something similar right in the middle of the Tennis Center. Kim said she had some child sitting next to her in the subway (or was it the bus?) with crotchless pants. Just so odd.

Thanks for sharing your trip with us back at the Primate Center! Please let Randy know that the Broncos kicked the Raiders asses bigtime on their own turf Monday night...a beautiful thing to behold.
