The US Open

We are so fortunate to have friends that have box seats to the US Open in NY. What a very special experience it is to not only see the matches but to spend the day with good friends. Yesterday was ladies day! We met in Riverside and drove in. The traffic was very agreeable so we made it in about 45 minutes! Parking was part of the deal; although we couldn't get our first preference on lots, we did just fine! The matches were wonderful. The highlight of the afternoon was Nadal playing Jones. Jones was a wild card and gave Nadal quite a run for his money! Nadal was suffering from tendinitis in his knees. The first set and half of the second were pretty difficult for Nadal; so he won the first, lost the second and came back to win the 3rd and 4th. Hope he has a day or two to rest up; hard to heal when you're busy playing! The weather was beautiful, sunny and, thankfully not humid. Even without the humidity it was hot! When I came home and took a shower I could feel my body temperature drop by what felt like 20 degrees!l What a lovely way to spend the day!
