Bags Are Packed

...and I'm outta here. On the way to airport now. Will miss you all much. With Love, Petro

A Sunny Saturday

I didn't see an official high tempurature for today, but I'd have to guess it was mid-60's. And the sun filled every hour of daylight we get in late January. A warm backdrop to spend the last full day I'll have in Atlanta for the next four weeks. A visit to Yiayia Voula this morning. And a baptism in the afternoon.

I'm ready for a few weeks of living another gathering of the Olympic Movement. I'm reminded of my first taste of Olympic life -- The 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Torch Relay. Here's a photo of me on another sunny day on a January four years ago. The Collegiate Peaks just south of Colorado Springs are behind me. Tomorrow it will be the Italian Alps.

Last Day in the Office

One more day trying to tie up all the loose ends today. This morning Helen said "TGIF!" In Greek that is "Thank Gus, Its Feta!" or in Italian, would it be "Thank Giovani, its Fettucini"? Either way the sentiment is the same -- one last day of desk work and then it is time to pack. Weather report from Torino shows a chilly 24 degrees as a high with some light snow. Here's a photo. I really need to find those polypropylene sock liners.
