Results aside yesterday was a long day. Fed Ex closed because of Independence day so no pins. We'll have to make up for teams who left without pins. Men's volleyball came in last night at 9.00pm after delay in Bogota. All intact. Group of shooters visited fro Baranquilla. Archery leaves today, track and field arrives today. Apart from pins all is well. Off to check on pins bright and early today...Ian.
