		<description><![CDATA[At the Laoshan cycling cluster, my knowledge of track cycling, BMX, and mountain biking changed from theoretical to first-hand. I went from reading about each discipline to seeing the world&#8217;s top athletes compete in them. The Brits dominated on the track, the United States didn&#8217;t quite pull off a BMX sweep, and a French guy [...]]]></description>

The United States wasn&#8217;t on the ticket at the gymnastics and softball events I&#8217;d attended, so it wasn&#8217;t too much of an issue. The night the world [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pre-Olympics, the exchange rate in China was approximately seven Yuan to one U.S. Dollar. During the Games though, a different kind of currency was king&#8212;the pin. Every country, team, newspaper, college, sponsor, etc. had a pin with its logo emblazoned across it, and for many people, collecting them was of utmost importance&#8212;for good reason.

Spending seven weeks in China meant that even with a pre-trip cut, I was getting a little shaggy toward the end. So I did what any good high-maintenance girl would do in [...]]]></description>

Like every good New Englander, I love Fenway Park and all the sights, sounds, and suds it offers (even if the sud prices did go up…again).
