Hi FISH swimmers and coaches, and greetings from Guadelajara, Mexico. Here I am with some U.S. paralympic teammates.  This picture was put in the Parapan newsletter.  I'm not wearing my official Olympic uniform clothing yet because it was being tailored just for my size! We had 'uniforming' in Houston, where we were given duffle bags and all kinds of Olympic sport clothing.



Then we arrived in Guadelajara the next day.  We attended opening ceremonies, and then we had practice. The pool is brand new. It's awesome.

All of us live in the athlete village in one section.  Other countries live in other sections. It's a great place. There is an international area with lots of shops.

Go Jess!  We are all thinking of you and cheering for you!  Keep us posted!  Go FISH!
