First day of "real work" . . . Rich and Andy went to the men's wheelchair basketball (Great Britain vs. Italy) and Tasha headed south to Helliniko for wheelchair fencing. Andy did well with two interviews: one with the assistant coach of the GBR team and one with a wheelchair tennis athlete from the Netherlands. Tasha, when she finally reached the complex at Helliniko (a good three hours journey), was able to speak with three women from the U.S. fencing team.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Mike actually left the ranch (Maroussi Presbyterian) and ventured out to find the Olympic Stadium and press area (which he did, eventually).

All met up beneath the Acropolis for dinner and much running up one street and down the other trying to get back to the metro station. More fun tomorrow . . .

Note: It is always worth it to buy quality backpacks when traveling abroad!
