Warning: Debbie Downer:
On the last day of the trip, likely caused by a combination of things including alcohol, caffeine (which Joe almost never drinks), lack of sleep and just a really long week, he had a hyperventilation attack. This has happened before, at our home, on a much smaller scale. So, now that he is home he is going to the doctor to make sure there isn't something more serious there. Luckily I wasn't there because I am usually the one who is like "no, we don't need to call an ambulance just yet" but the guys with him did so I am grateful for them :)
Joe said he could feel the heat of the olympic flame. Right before Usain Bolt's 100 m run!

Meeting up with Kevin Weck
The Chopper group (and Kevin right in the middle of course!)
The guys at a London cafe. I did get this photo and immediately think "is Joe drinking an espresso? So odd for him to drink caffeine." It was a double expresso. A man of extremes.
The Chopper Group - including the London team!
