This was simply an amazing trip.  We've added a lot of pictures here, but we were fortunate enough to have a very complete trip.  Highlights include:  Being featured on the Today Show, meeting current and former Olympians (saw Michael Phelps!), going to the Great Wall, attending track & field, table tennis, diving, volleyball & football events, attending a party overlooking the Olympic Village with a Kung Fu demonstration, going to an amazing aquarium in Shanghai, and even getting married again for the 15th time! 

A few funny treats included dinner at the Black Cafe (100% pitch black dark restaurant where you are served by blind people), Ryan finding a Chinese medicinal store in the fresh fish section of Hong Kong that sold starfish by the bin-load, meeting Al Roker and being on the Today Show, and Ryan wearing a gold medal.

The best part of the trip was that an unbelievable number of Chinese people treated Ryan like a rock star, literally tens of people at a time clamoring to simply take a photo with him (pictures below).  The pack of Koreans at the Great Wall were particularly funny.  What can we say...HE IS CUTE!
