Matt and Eilis are seeing a lot of the world on their OE. Matt flicked me an email last week that I wanted to share with you all.
Central America has been fantastic. Guatemala in particular has been impressive the best thing we have done on our trip so far is a 6 day trek in the highlands. Lugging a pack around for 6 days was nothing after doing sandbag runs at CFNZ
I thought I might send you these photos seeing as the olympics are on and gymnastics is something Crossfiters enjoy watching. We were in China for 2 weeks and went to the Temple of Heaven Park in Beijing a couple of times to exercise; there were hundreds if not thousands of Chinese men and women all over the age of 40 stretching and doing exercise on this adult playground.
No wonder China is leading the medal tally at the Olympics if they do this each and every day of their lives. We saw an 80 year old man hobble with his walking stick over to the pull up bar hang his cane on his arm and proceed to do 2 or 3 dead hang pull ups. It was so impressive and yet shameful for myself and Eilis as we are not the most limber people at the best of times.......
Hope all is well at CFNZ. We are missing the gym and people a lot
Take Care,
Matt and Eilis
