Just as the Times has its traditional dinner the night before the opening ceremony, the Albarinos and Yusteins have their own bash on ceremony night. The menu is home-country inspired and flags adorn the walls. They were kind enough to share some photos with E@J. Looks like a nice spread with some very nicely decorated “Torch” cupcakes. No sign, however, of Olympic Torch Tornadoes.
I had a bit of a rest day today. Spent most of it in the warm office. The very cold temperatures have returned, as has the wind. I am supposed to be going to the men’s downhill tomorrow but there is a lot of talk about postponing it because the wind could make the jumps too dangerous. I am really hoping that if they postpone it, they will do it before I spend too many frigid hours standing on the icy slopes. It was pretty slick there the other day so I will be bringing the crampons this time around.
Kinda like a snow day, I would prefer to know the night before!
In case you haven’t noticed #2 sister’s comment on the previous post, or glanced at my twitter feed on the right side of this page, my girl Reese Witherspoon tweeted a shoutout to our interactive Olympic preview pieces.
