http://margauxisaksen.blogspot.com/2008/08/opening-ceremony-words-can-not-describe.html
Sunday, August 10, 2008. The Opening Ceremony - Words can not describe it. I hope you are following along with our progress in the games. Hooray for our saber fencers and our basketball team! For some things there just aren’t adequate words. This has been one of them. I think I saw you on TV on Friday night, you and Sheila. I'm proud of you, and the team. You GAUX girl! August 10, 2008 at 8:50 PM. Hey, it's Beth! I just wanted to tell you that I'm incredibly proud of you! See you later ;)!

http://margauxisaksen.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 27, 2008. All the hard work and long hours are about to pay off now. I’m packing for China! All the same, when I think about it now, it’s feeling more and more real to me. It’s a sweet dream; I hope mine’s about to come true. Riding photo by Gerry Maceda from last week's riding camp. Sunday, July 20, 2008. A week in the desert - riding, riding and more riding!

Tuesday, September 2, 2008. For me, Linda is now part of my Olympic experience, and her sweetness and sense of wonder will be what I think of when I think of China. That little girl embodies the spirit of the experience; she has an accepting openness, kindness, curiosity, and humanity that make her a gem, and she proves that, as I expected, the Chinese are more like us than not.

Margaux Isaksen: August 2008

Sunday, August 17, 2008. I’ve been out of touch electronically while I’ve been in Singapore all week. I’m really glad to be back in Beijing! It’s like they got an air transplant! Clear, blue skies, lower humidity, and fifteen degrees cooler! I’ve missed the Olympic Village and all the wonderful eating opportunities. There is so much food to choose from here, and (I have mentioned that I enjoy my dining adventures – haven’t I? I am really glad to be back. I envied them out there going for it! Our ambassad...

Tuesday, September 2, 2008. My new friend, Linda, whose mom runs a small shop in Beijing, really made my trip special in a personal way. My mom met Linda while on a walk by herself in a hutong (residential area) in Beijing. Linda’s mom looked out the door of her shop and noticed my mom having difficulty with a band-aid. Linda’s mom quickly guided my mom to a seat in her shop where she provided and installed a new band-aid. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Lenovo Summer Games Blogger.

Margaux Isaksen: September 2008
http://margauxisaksen.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 2, 2008. I’m not saying that the Olympics are, “just another competition,”’ but except for the thousands of cheering spectators, the events are the same. I was excited to be there, but I wasn’t more nervous than I typically am for a world class event. When I rounded the corner and saw our flag and all the Americans cheering me on, I was moved. I think that’s when it really hit me. What a shot of adrenaline! What a wonderful feeling! For me, Linda is now part of my Olympic experience, a...
