Although I enjoyed part of the Black Sea during my time in Turkey years ago, was thinking that an adventure to Sochi Olympics would have enabled me to broaden my understanding about the the eastern area of that sea. Never made it to Sochi.
( Opted to be at a reunion with dear dear old college friends from Chestnut Hill College : )
Since the games, have heard from those returning, that Sochi was even more expensive than expected and not quite the usual upbeat crowd who knew about cueing up etc. Am quite sure others enjoyed it of course, but it seemed that several that I spoke with were faced with more difficulties than usual.
As for me, because of Twitter and the IBC, although I did not attend the games in person, I definitely can say that I enjoyed Sochi. Therefore feel a bit sad that some had some negative experiences.
A great part of attending ANY Olympics is meeting the people, which expands one's knowledge and appreciation about the culture and history of any part of our world. Listening to their life stories, laughing with them, dancing with them. Yah, I did miss THAT important part of the 2014 games.
Black Sea and Eastern Europe...to be continued...
