Since this baby has decided to wait for Labor
Day, I’ve been out and about with vecmamma
Inga and the boys here in Greenville taking advantage of the last days of
summer. As I wrote in this previous post, the 2014 Para-Cycling World
Championships have come to town, and the Opening Ceremonies and Parade of
Nations was Wednesday evening at the Peace Center Aphitheatre.
Athletes from 40 countries are participating
in the games, having overcome disabilities and handicaps to excel at this
physically demanding sport. We welcomed Oskars Gailišs and team from Latvia,
who will be competing today in time trials and Sunday in the road races.
The USA team paraded through, 30 athletes
strong. We can’t wait to see them all in action!
The official website, including live streaming
of the weekend’s events can be found here.

Impressive little group of Latvians! I'm sure Oskars appreciated the support.
