Such a Social Sochi, Thanks Again Russia

Was able to imagine what is was like inside the Opening and Closing Ceremonies almost as if I was there, perhaps because I was fortunate enough to attend so many in the past.  The format quite similar to past Olympics, the content so diverse. Always SPECTACULAR.  (The ability to demonstrate a sense of humor made me think of Vancouver 2010.)

Here are a few “tweets” from watching, listening and computing:

Olympics go even more...mobile

Thousands of selfies

Whimsical uniforms

A visual fantasia, what a kick off

Shooting stars and classical visions 

Famous Russian authors’ flying pages

Terabites of pics per second

Segways

Halfpipe glory

Nail biter endings
Timing booths precision

Canada IS ice hockey

Super excited Russians, RUSHEEYA!
Team USA, stars were shining

A bit of blurry fog, mostly sunshiny days

Scott Hamilton’s got global appeal

I feel delight when smaller countries sparkle

Logog, sogog...rogog

Jellied meats and yah, McDonalds

Gotta love the geeky details
Athlete's tweets, everybody's tweets...so neat.

Was it an electric fan keeping those two flags looking pretty?

Heaps of sweeps

Holland so small, medals so many, evening celebration vibes could be felt everywhere

All athletes on all teams are winners

What a wonderful buzz it was. Thank you Russia, thank you world. 

More seeds for GLOBAL PEACE planted on our sacred earth.

Thank You Russia, Thank You Sochi!

Thank You Russia, Thank You Sochi, Job Well Done!!!

The highlight for many of us in the USA was ability to enjoy the games through the eyes of the athletes via Twitter. They shared with us what they saw from their perspective and they shared their thoughts, pulled us in closer to the Olympic Village. Such a buzz.  So many positives. We simply loved how the athletes from many countries tweeted and oh how we enjoyed their heartfelt posts and their positive comments.

The Opening, the excitement, the comments after the competitions were super. But most of all, the scenes of merriment outside of the venues and outside of the Olympic Park made us feel that we were there in Russia, as well.

People of the world celebrating in peace. Que Bravo!

And so so many of incredibly wonderful posts with photos that were posted via Twitter have been appreciated here in California and around the globe. 

Thank you Sochi, we were there in Spirit. Olympic Spirit.
