Yesterday, I went to Epcot in the afternoon and walked around World Showcase with the Murphy’s.
Last night, I went to Wide World of Sports to attend the Opening Ceremony of the Invictus Games. The games were founded by Prince Harry and are supported by the Bushes and Obamas. 14 coalition countries of wounded warriors marched into the baseball stadium. They will compete in games until Thursday here in Orlando.
It was interesting to see people I know from my current job mixed with chefs I know from my past life. It was a great event. James Blunt, a singer from the U.K., was really good. He performed 3 or 4 songs. I also saw Prince Harry, former President George W. Bush, First Lady Michele Obama, and Morgan Freeman.
It was an inspiring night of over 500 athletes from around the world. There was extra effort to highlight invisible illnesses like post-traumatic stress disorder.
Today, I woke up early and had breakfast with the Brazilian Chamber of Commerce and learned about the Brazil crisis. I also attended a luncheon for a mayor from a province in Saudi Arabia. Then, tonight, I went to a dinner for the Federal Asian Pacific American Council. I am tired, but I am fortunate to only have 1 more event the rest of the week and that is tomorrow morning. I have to go in early and then, I hope I get enough done in the afternoon to leave to meet Murphy’s at Disney Springs tomorrow night.
The best pictures that I edited are towards the end here:
