From San Francisco with love.
Carole Wimberg Cadora's Olympic Journal of Beijing Olympics 2008, Athens 2004, Salt Lake City 2002, Sydney 2000, Atlanta 1996, Barcelona 1992, Los Angeles 1984, Montreal 1976, Munich 1972 and Mexico 1968 and...the olympic spirit. Weaving present and past, the blog gives different perspectives, working in broadcasting within the International Broadcasting Center yet includes the great fun of experiencing the games as an outsider with no credentials.

To Go or Not to Go, That is the Question
Will be checking out websites, bulletins and emails to learn about the pros and cons of heading toward the Vancouver Olympics of 2010.
Negative Vancouver is cold.
Positive Vancouver is very close to our new family baby.
Negative Vancouver is not nearly as inexpensive as Beijing!
Positive Vancouver is not nearly as far away as Beijing!

Vancouver 2010
Teaching from September to June enabled me to have free summers for the Summer games. Salt Lake City, Utah was only a ten hour drive from my home in California. Stayed in Park City in 2001 to attend the Sundance Film Festival and during that time I scouted a bit for 2002. Knew a year prior to the Olympics that it was a good possibility.
I took my children to the World Expo in 1984, it was mid-summer, warm and delightful. Hmmm Vancouver is cold in February.
To go or not to go, that is the question!
