Day 17 - Uniform Uniformity Part 2

Hey Everyone!

Thursday we spent our first day at the National Indoor Stadium and started with a tour of the facility.  It was amazing to see the large building and to think that in a few weeks, this will be the stage for world-class entertainment.  We saw the mixed zone - where we will get interviews from athletes - and the press conference room.  People were busy putting final touches all over the
 place, but for the most part the building 
is complete.  Later, we watched some promotional Olympic videos in the press conference room and then got our uniforms!  Sally gave us big Adidas bags full of clothes.  We received three shirts, two pants, three pairs of socks, a pair of shoes, a poncho, jacket, water bottle, fanny pack and hat!  We even get to keep all of this gear after the games!
