Flying home...
Finally...59 days later, I'm off.
Look! It's Quebec City!
Even better...New York City!
I know these photos kinda suck, but I thought I'd post anyway. May need to click it to make sense of it.

Advertising and "Look of the Games"
GE spent a LOT of money advertising in Torino. The Monogram (or meatball) was everywhere.
The "look of the games was pretty impressive". These are some shots from around Palavela (figure skating and short track speed skating).

Palasport
There isn't major theme or point to these posts...just a bit of housekeeping. I wanted to make sure that these pictures get posted before they get lost and/or forgotten.
The Palasport hockey venue was absolutely gorgeous (as I've mentioned before). Here a few more pics that I found during this housekeeping effort.
Most photos are also being uploaded here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/96495635@N00/

This rock was OSHA-approved
The stairs leading to the bus mall saw a LOT of traffic each day. Finally, near the end of the games, one of the metal steps "split". A quick thinking volunteer realized that this situation was unnaceptable and fixed it. He jammed a rock underneath the step for support.
In all fairness, they did fix the stair later that day.

Sauze D'Oulx
One of the last venues that I visited during the games was Sauze D'Oulx. This was the venue for Freestyle (moguls and aerials). It wasn't a beautiful afternoon, but the venue was still impressive.
The "Alpine Group" of the Army was used at a number of venues to prepare the field of play.
Entering the field of play...
Would you ski down that?
And launch yourself off of one of these?
Maybe it's best just to walk down. Good choice Andy.
