Over 10 countries and 150 athletes joined together for the opening ceremony tonight in Ramboulliet. The region of Rambouillet is known for its sheep as well as the great hunting forest for Louis XIV. Sheep entered the field under the guide of a shepard and a sheep dog and then the teams paraded in. After several dignitaries spoke, baloons went into the sky and we were off to a celebration party.
Our agenda for the week:
Saturday- Track & Field & Boccia-- Ted is competing in discus, javelin and shot put and boccia.
Sunday- Boccia in the eve.
Monday- Badminton and Basketball
Tuesday- Ping Pong & Floor Hockey
Wednesday- Soccer & Volleyball
Today we visited the Palace of Versailles and the gardens. The aristocrats of that period definitely understood the good life.
On Sunday we plan to visit the cathedral in Chartres. It is the oldest of the area.
