The Olympics

Every 2 years I am taken to a new world full of victory, heartache, and wonder. I sit in front of my TV in awe of the jumps, spins, and the flips that lead to an emotional medal ceremony.
This year, it is the winter Olympics in Torino, Italy. Italia! The opening ceremonies are tonight. The different scenes of the Alps, the mountaintop fortresses, and the ancient cities are so beautiful. I want to go!
It wasn't until the games in Salt Lake City that I realized how much I liked the winter olympics. I've always loved the summer games. . .now I love watching downhill skiing, snowboarding, and of course, ice skating.
The next few weeks are going to be wonderful.
Go USA!
