The Accidental Tourist

Every Olympics city seems to have trouble getting everything ready by the time the Games begin, but there's never been stories like the ones coming out of Sochi.  Unfinished venues, bad water, missing roads, etc.  Way to take that payoff, IOC!

Let The Games Begin





 Before the Olympics started, I asked my students to name any of the current Winter Olympians.  Shaun White was the only one any of my classes could name.  That may change after Mikaela Shiffrin gets done in Sochi.  At 18, she's only a year or two older than the students in my class.  My students were impressed with her workout routine--5 hours a day.  Plus, she's very marketable.
