A few days ago I mentioned that part of our family was going to Thailand, accompanying our granddaughter to Bangkok as she competed in the International women's Adaptive Basketball (in wheelchairs) tournament. In the weeks before traveling she had participated in the International women's Adaptive Water Ski Tournament being held in Elk Grove CA. She had won a Gold Medal and set a new World's record in the Wakeboard event, breaching her own world record, set back in Kentucky, a year ago.
Okay, enough bragging about my granddaughter...so, returning to Thailand the big news was all about the Monsoon. And what all that rain did to the sport venue. The roof collapsed! It happened earlier in the day and no one was injured. That cancelled the opening ceremony and the first game. Apparently they have found a new venue and the event starts over today. Now it's time to untangle the mess of return airline flights and hotels. Or, they may have to double up some of the games, playing more than once a day. The weather forecast tells us that the rain will continue for weeks while the temperatures will remain in the 80's.
More news later...
