almost

Just 1 night sleep and it will finally happen, another start of the six days. The weather is wonderful, around 25C lots of sunshine, cool at night, foggy in the morning, so very humid. We attended the opening ceremonies yesterday, parade on the boulevard, was nice but not spectacular, because of the cold wind we took off right after the parade for dinner. Was nice with a big group of Canadians in 1 restaurant, getting to know each other better. Some Canadians stayed at a bar and had a few drinks, a couple even had a little bit to drink and felt really bad on Sunday morning. We had a nice swim in the ocean on saturday afternoon lovely once you were in. getting in was the hard part, very cold. The tide was low so a lot of rocks were high up. Some skin came off on several body parts, a nice dip in the pool to get rid of the sand and gravel in the bathing suit.
Sunday became the rest day, shopping, laundry, walking tests for the riders, We went to the presentations of Mexico 2010 and Finland 2011, both very nice presentations, nice areas for future six days especially Mexico looks pretty spectacular. Our last support crew people showed up on sunday afternoon. An early night if possible.
