This is a quick drive by post. My throat hurts and I do not want to talk too much. I know, I know, but I am tired and want to get to sleep. Today is the start of the 3 days of mourning. Much of the public activity in China is shut down. We went to a park with a small section of amusement park rides and while we were there (and before we got on any rides) a proclamation with an official stamp was delivered shutting it down for 3 days. Apparently it is all public entertainment. So, no museums etc. We are here with 3 children. The hotel is nice and all but... We went to a Children's market and bought a few extra toys to keep them busy. Tomorrow the Samsung group has planned an outing to a water town (canals like Venice) which we will go on. I sure hope the childrens behave.
It seems as though the relay will go on on Thursday and so it may happen after all. Tonight there was a dinner where they had a torch and everyone had their photo taken holding it. I will try and post a few photos as it has been awhile.
