I am astonished but the story of swimming the as Straits of Florida is rated a top story on the BBC News page. I had no idea it was such a big deal. I was going to take a lunch break to watch Diana Nyad land but it is a zoo and I am not interested in spending my precious minutes outside the office being squished in a crowd on Smathers Beach.
BBC News - US swimmer Diana Nyad, 64, makes historic Cuba-Florida crossing
Well now, the fifth time is the charm and all our lives are made better by this unbearable feat of swimming 103 miles all in one go. By a 64 year old woman no less. May her biceps never grow less.

I heard this on my way to work today and was so happy!
ReplyDeleteWhat an achievement, amazing woman!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she enjoyed Cuba at all.
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiration! Glad there was a parade for her and a local writer Michael Haskins got her first interview when she came ashore.
