Paralympic Games 2004 - Tasha Books' Diary: Monday 20th September PDF Print E-mail

All different directions today . . . Andy picked up some interviews with people and athletes connected to Athletics; Rich prepared for his late-night press conference; Tasha spent hours walking all around the Olympic Complex; Pete pulled things together at the church; and Mike went on what turned out to be a pointless journey to Zappeion (big surprise--"Zappeion" must be Greek for "huge excursion to nothing important").

Andy found Tasha in the afternoon by phoning her during her interview with the women's tandem cycling team just after they'd won the gold medal. Much of the afternoon was spent in Aquatics where they saw, among other things, an athlete with no arms and only one leg win a backstroke event. They were prepared to keep working, but were forced to head back early because they were given too many gifts from a volunteer friend and had too much to carry!

Everything ended well with a farewell dinner for Linda at a local place where no one knew which meal belonged to which person; so we shared everything.

How to survive in Greece: Be sure to never drink an entire coke right before you catch a car home if you are not sure when you might be arriving.
