Just another tourist just another fan

Now that the games are over, we had some time to get around. Went to see the men play against Spain. Unfortunately they came up short.

Next Dan and I went to the Yuyuen Gardens. The area is surrounded by shopping and old style Chinese buildings. We found the gardens which ended up being a mix of koi ponds temples and incredible rock formations. It was beautiful.

Later in the day we went to the pool to watch swimming. Saw the US win a couple medals including Phelps winning gold in the 100 fly.

Went out for some drinks to complete the productive day.

Thumbs up Shanghai. It's been real.
