I know that I have shared my love of the olympics these past few posts. I must confess tho there are so many things that I like. I love the fact that it is drug free for the most part. I love that we are really pretty much dominant for the most part. I love that Michael Phelps learned to swim as a child. I love that the Chinese use 11 year olds in gymnastics, and get away with it. I mean there is just so many things.
Recently I stayed up real late and was going through different sports and looking at the different athletes online. In my searching I discovered a new country that I found myself pulling for in the javelin. I have never thought much about that sport I guess because I have never tried it before. The most I ever thought about it was the scene from Revenge of The Nerds when Lamar Latrell won the javelin throw.

Sorry the picture is bad it was the only one I could find. I ended up looking at the country of Paraguay and there track and field athletes. When I landed on javelin I was taken aback. I quickly became a huge fan of not only the sport of javelin but the country of Paraguay. I ran across Laryn Franco. She is on the track and field team for the country of Paraguay competing in what else the javelin. I was so impressed 2 things came to mind…
1. How do you get to Paraguay
2. Why in the world do I not follow the sport of Javelin
I do not want to make up your mind for you so I will let you make up your own minds. If anyone is up for a trip to Paraguay although I have no idea where it is I will strongly consider going with you though.

Again I love the olympics.
FYI she failed to reach the finals, but who cares right….

MY BOY DIDN’T FALL OFF A TURNIP TRUCK. YOU CAN GET TO PARAGUAY ON AN AIRPLANE. DUH! YOU COULD PLAN A MISSION TRIP THERE. I JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT THE MISSION WOULD BE. HA! HA!
