OK now an update on what life is like here..the good & the bad:
1) GOOD: free tickets and transportation to all Pan Am Games events. We watched swimming tonight (200 free, 200 IM and 400 medley)
2) GOOD: We got to chat with the swimmers who competed in the elevator here at the athletes village
3) GOOD: 24 hour food hall open BAD: same food every night...They are trying to feed 5500 hungry athletes...The food hall is a total zoo..like a feeding frenzy
4)BAD: lines to get food in the "feeding frenzy" can take up to 30 mins...
5) GOOD: USA has a dedicated trainer who gives us deep muscle massages every day....
6) BAD: too many mosquitoes...
7) BAD: sailing venue us a 1 hour bus ride away...and every one drives in the "Pan Am Games designated bus lanes" during rush hour

Hey Tracy,
Do you think the guys swimming at Pan Ams are Group 1 or Group 2? Jon thinks he can toast most of them (he calls them Pamsie's). If you get to meet Erik Vendt (I don't know if he's swimming there) he's from Rhode Island. Keenan wishes you good luck and so do all your swim buds.
