America!

I'm back home after a long flight.  After returning some calls, I headed straight to the pool to swim out my travels.  When I arrived on the pool deck the post grads were all in the water.  I talked to the coaches and swimmers one-by-one.  It felt good to be back.  There were lots of smiles and hand shaking.  Everybody had questions about the pool and the meet.  Being one of the people on deck with the least number of international meets under my belt, it was refreshing being the person telling others about an amazing pool in a foreign country.  I swam about 2000 yards, mostly easy swimming, a few burst sprints.
