Life's a Beach

If you've been reading the WNT Blog, you know that the USA is staying right on the beach in Qinhuangdao. While it's way too hot for any of the U.S. players to spend time frolicking in the sand, it hasn't stopped the Chinese from packing the beach for some fun in the sun...er...humdity. On the weekend, there were so many beach-goers that it was likely difficult to find a place to lay a towel. Still, if there's one thing we've learned it's that that no matter where you are in the world, everyone loves a beach. The hotel and the Olympic organizers have cordoned off a section of the beach behind the hotel reserved just for the Olympic athletes and support staff. It also has nets out in the ocean to keep out any fish with bad attitudes. While it's sort of odd being on a fenced in beach, we surely appreciate the thought and effort going into making this VIP Beach Club.
