Busy day--out from 0730-0100, and that included a van ride with a whole bunch of constables. Long story and no time to tell it now. I do have lots of notes and hope to get some narrative out in the next day or two when I can sit in the hotel with a charged netbook and work on things. With only one adapter I haven't been able to charge the netbook, tablet, batteries and cell phone, and last night the netbook with photos was the loser when it came to what I had to bring along today.

We have visited two different hospitality centers and have seen the Queen at the pool this morning, and the First Lady at the pool tonight (at the very end when I came down from the high altitude seats that don't allow you to even see the stands across the pool because of what looks like a belly of a whale blocking the view--what a horrible design). I'm uploading exactly five photos now so I can try to get to bed by 0130 again.

I know many of you are looking forward to my photos and as time permits I will get them on line.
