Traveling the world with Vice President Joe Biden is an 'adventure,' said one Hillary Clinton associate in emails released today from the State Department.
'It's like a Disney ride with dips and spins and surprises around every bend,' the email, addressed to 'H' read.
The note came to Clinton from diplomat Kurt M. Campbell who accompanied the veep to Beijing in 2011.
Clinton, serving as secretary of state, replied that she couldn't wait to hear stories – and asked if it was anything like 'W and beach volleyball?'
Former President George W. Bush had made his own trek to China in 2008 to catch portions of the Beijing Olympics. He memorably slapped the bikini-ed back of American volleyball player Misty May Treanor.
'There's no talking in beach ball,' Campbell replied.
'It's unlike any diplomacy I've seen,' he continued. 'Any possible topic or reference or poet or Irish lymric or historical reference or 60s pop culture data point can appear with little or no warning.'
'Entertaining, but unpredictable,' the diplomat added.
The Biden exchange was one-lighthearted convo to come from today's email release, which made headlines after the State Department announced it would not release 22 of Clinton's messages because they are 'top secret.'
'The documents are being upgraded at the request of the intelligence community because they contain a category of top secret information,' State Department spokesman John Kirby told the AP.
He described the decision to withhold documents in full as 'not unusual.'

Hillary and her reset button trying to look down her nose at W. Bush. It’s women’s volleyball tradition apparently to slap the rear ends of teammates after a good play.
Hillary is just jealous that she wasn’t in Beijing to pat Misty May-Treanor’s behind. (Bush chose to pat her back)
Uncle Joe would have stuck his tongue in her ear. Oh,wait,she may have been too old for him!
Joe Biden is a pathetic drunk.
Dips galore...
And, possibly the next dem nominee for President.
I took that teacup ride.
