The day is done but not the Unknowns so we will begin again tomorrow.  It was a great day and Michael Racy had a beautiful time slot to fly in.  The sun was just beginning to go down and the weather was cool and nice.  Everyone here is very social and friendly and the contest continues to run smoothly.  Dinner at the hotel is pretty standard but there is always a nice selection and the food is very good.  Rob brought his own pizza to dinner with him tonight which was comical but no one at the restaurant objected.  I think the language barrier would have created an exhausing attempt at it so they just let him have his pizza.

Patrick Carter left us today to head back home to rejoin his family.  All of the U.S. Team thanks him for his support and it was great having him with us.  He was a big help to us here and wish him a safe and comfortable trip back home.  He is missed already!

We are all looking forward to Goody and Rob’s flights tomorrow and then we begin again with the second Unknown.  Happy Labor Day and more updates soon!
