Sept 21- Day 52

Today I gave my presentation to the other training sites plus a few  visiting USOC staff. I was surprised by how surprised everyone was with how much work we had to do with the visas. I guess I just assumed it was the same for across the board. They also found some of my stories interesting. I told them how some countries didn't want to ride in a car with a woman driver and how they quickly overcame that in the 100 degree weather! I think my presentation went really well and it led to some great conversations between me and other training sites.

After presentations we went to visit the new USOC headquarters. They were amazing! Then for a group activity we went to the Garden of the Gods (the picture above!). It was so beautiful  and peaceful, it made me want to move to Colorado Springs. The weather was perfect!

Tonight we went to eat as a group at the Blue Star. I so enjoy these training site meetings because you learn so much from the other groups and you can really get to know each other on a different level, which helps when working with each place.

It's been a great day! I love my job and being here inspires me to want to do even more amazing things at UCO!

I leave you with one last picture of the Garden of the Gods. I told my mom we need to visit this place when we come in October and maybe take the segway tour!  LOL!
