Olympics

We've been on a schedule of visiting the Olympic grounds, recently (Barcelona, Atlanta, and London are places we've been).

Somehow, though, we are there many years after the olympics (or in the case of London, before!)

One day, I'd love to catch up- and to see an Olympic event live!  Maybe gymnastics or ice skating, but I'd settle for swimming or running - - anything, live, would be pretty awesome..

It's like the ultimate sporting event.

It also doesn't hurt that the games often take place in areas and other countries that would also be worth visiting!

Maybe Brazil in 2016?
