Our first High, Low & A-ha!

High: Claudia's delightful recount of our history & being Olympic correspondents for HLA
Low: the looming prospect of packing for the HOT & the HUMID
AHA: Opening Ceremonies in Beijing are already over and apparently, this Chinese welcome party is the MOST expensive ceremony of all time!! China has officially put on their hospitality britches at a low estimate of $100 million...that's about $476000 per minute and almost $8000 per second!

As Amy arrives from her X-Country road trip through the Grand Canyon, today marks the beginning of our "High, Low & A-Ha" themed chronology! For those of you who are unfamiliar with this interesting practice -- it's a great recipe for a 'quick & dirty' download of information. Claudia, the empress of HighLowAha -- the blog -- summarizes it best:
"Each night at dinner my family members share their high for the day, their low for the day, and something they have learned. No matter how good, bad, or busy each of our days has been this simple reflection immediately brings us together and helps slow the world down – if only for a minute."
Amy and I are excited to incorporate this ritual into the storytelling of our adventure, and we hope to be able to interact and encourage conversation. Bring it on :)

Until next time!
