On Monday, we partnered up with team #6 to go through the Putuo District.  We ran through 9 Communities.  The Chang Shou, Yi Chuam, Gan Quan, Shi Quan, Cao Yang Chang Feng Chang Zheng and the Zhen Run Town.  Basically we arrived at the first location by bus.  We got out and lined up, when ready, we started to run, we ran into the ceremony, stopped, gave the Flame of Hope to the local community leaders, each time and officer spoke and each time one of our two athletes spoke.  It was Katie and Eric (from So. California)  They both did really well.  It was difficult to take pictures during these celebrations.  In all cases, after the ceremonies, we would run out of the area, in some cases, we would run to the next location, in some, we would be bused. 

 

I posted some pictures from Pat's camera.  He was taken from our group early on, (we knew this) to travel to Hong Kong and Macau.  It sounds like the HK5 had a wonderful time as the rest of us in our host cities.
