Sinead says hi to

A big hello to Tony, Eileen, Mary, Sile and Andrew. Miss you! Hi second class glynn national, Ms Sinnott will be back soon!!

A lovely afternoon

This morning Carole had the start of her competition. She is being divisioned and we will get the time table for her competition hopefully tomorrow. I have to say she was brilliant, she concentrated on the job and did it so well. I hope Wednesday is as good.

We got to take Carole to our hotel for the afternoon. She swam in the pool and was so relaxed. It was great. Then she asked if we could have dinner by the pool... so we did. Greek omelette and chips, the first greek dinner I enjoyed.

Carole has swapped pins with more people than I can remember. She is delighted to say she knows people from all round the world.

The Ambassadors Do...

Yesterday we moved from the centre of Athens to the coast nearer to where Carole is training and competitions are held. The views are amazing. Last night the Irish ambassador and his wife, Mr and Mrs Charles Sheehan held a reception for the Irish Families and volunteers.There was plenty of food and of course some Murphy's... There we met Tim and Sam Schriver who willingly posed for a photo. They were lovely.
John Tracey was there as a representative from the Sports Council of Ireland. Not shy of the Camera either ....we got a photo!!! Thank you John.

Shook hands with lots of people and got the results of the Wexford match!!!
Oh we saw the Irish Garda standing on the runway at the opening ceremony .. We weren't expecting that...
At the opening ceremony mam saw Tim Schriver walking past and Yelled TIM he turned round and waved. He looked puzzled.
David ; The closing ceremony is on 4th July. Carole will be home on 5th. Her final competition is on wednesday. She is delighted with all the interest Thank you.
