IMO

"Hello everyone,

We got to Madrid Spain on time on Saturday (July 12), with no problems, except for Razvan, Deputy Leader who had cancelled flights, and arrived later on Saturday.

We got to the Osuna Hotal fine, but no internet access there, so no communication. On Sunday we saw the Palacio Real, and had lunch on the Plaza Mayor, so got a little sight-seeing, and a lot of rest. Everyone is fine, and the weather is pleasantly warm and dry.

Today, (Monday, July 14) we moved to the IMO. The boys are in a dorm, called Ahuja, at the northeast corner of the Universidad. The Deputies and Observers are at the Hotel Florida Norte, west of the Palacio Real and at the southeast edge of the University. A guide, who grew up in the US is with the team. There is a fairly busy schedule, with the opening ceremonies tomorrow at noon.

Good internet access is hard to find, I am using my personal webmail account, since that is the only one I can get to from the limited hotel access. Will try to search out more, but watch for mail coming from this account, as well as my regular email account that I have usually email from.

Will try to give updates every day or two.
