Bronze in Germany

The 2008 World Lifesaving Championships have come to an end in Germany and now my Brother and Kimmy are officially off on their two week adventure through Europe. After a disappointing race in the pool events (due to loosing his goggles on the dive) Dustin redeemed himself in the Surf Race yesterday (basically an open water swim) and finished third.
My latest email from Dustin came from him at the Berlin Train Station where he and Kimmy were catching a night-train to Paris. Their original plan was to skip the post-race party and try to get to Paris in time for the finish of the Tour...but they chose the party and probably wont see any cycling because the train arrives at 10am. So, after arriving, they are off to the Louvre for their first day of sightseeing.
Dustin also wrote that his competitors were "Olympic caliber" and the rest of the Team USA had a very good showing. While in Berlin, he said they did quite a bit of sightseeing...visited the remains of the Wall and saw the big round obelisk. I will have to snag his camera when he gets home and post some photos (that is, if he actually TOOK any)!
