They were kind enough to show me around the neighborhood a bit on Saturday morning. We browsed the local market and then had a picnic lunch in the park.

In the afternoon I had tickets to see the women's indoor team volleyball gold medal match between the USA and Brazil.

Johanna is German, but the gift of my extra ticket was only on the condition that she root for team USA. I have to say, she did a terrific job.

Some of these Team USA girls were huge! Destinee Hooker #19 is 6'4" and Tayyiba Mumtaz Haneef-Park #16 on the right is 6'7".

After that game Brazil must have made some adjustments because they took over the lead and never allowed the US to get any momentum back.
