Last Day in Sochi :(

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I had a headache. Well a lot happened yesterday. We saw and met many athletes and medalists in USA House. Marc met Ryan Miller coming out of the bathroom and asked him if he would take a pic with me. When Marc tapped me on the shoulder and when I saw him, my jaw dropped. He was so nice! And I shook his hand twice. It's funny Marc how met Ryan in the bathroom and I met his wife in the bathroom too. Talk about irony! I also got a pic with Julia Mancuso. She was sitting right next to me on the couch. We also saw part of the USA men's hockey team, former figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi (she was at the table next to us and she looked at me and smiled), figure skater Jason Brown, figure skating ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White, and bobsled bronze medalists Steven Holcomb and Steven Langton (Nitro). 
Yesterday we went to the men's 10000m speed skating. Speed skating really is a cool sport. I wish I could try it. Marc and I were both kind of bummed that Apolo Ohno wasn't racing, but he deserves to be retired. OMG!! As I am writing this, Apolo Ohno just walked into USA House.. No joke! He is at the table right next to us. I'm gonna try and get a pic with him later. Anyways, Netherlands killed it in speed skating yesterday. 
Today, we were walking to Olympic Park and we heard someone yell, "Cohens!" and we turn around and it was our two friends from Amherst, NY! So that was pretty exciting. 
Well today is our last day in Sochi and let's hope we end our trip with a bang! We are going to the quarterfinal hockey game tonight at 9pm to see USA vs Czech Republic. Go USA!!
