"Which cities are vying to host the 2016 games?"
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/09/30/olympic.bids.explainer/index.html
So exactly who will host the 2016 Summer Olympics?
Ladies and Gentlemen, the competitors are (drumroll please):
Chicago!....
Madrid!.....
Rio!.......
and last but not least, Tokyo!
Now personally, I wouldn't mind the Olympics in the U.S., especially in a city so close to my hometown (6 hour drive to see the Olympics? I'll take it!) ...Who am I kidding, I would LOVE for the Olympics to be here! But we do have some tough competition, especially from Rio, seeing as South America has never hosted the Olympics before. With strong pros and cons for all four cities, it's really anybody's game. The final decision is being made tomorrow in Copenhagen, keep your fingers crossed!
About Me
- Trisha
- Whenever I paint, I put my left arm behind my back, and when I'm really focused on my art, I've been told that my breathing gets heavier. Walking barefoot is my petit bonheur, and trees are the most fascinating thing on this planet. I could eat a whole jar of peanutbutter slowly by the spoonful, especially if you sit me down in front of a movie, or two, or three. Sleeping with the window open makes for the best night's rest. I like to sit on the floor, even when a chair is available, which is ironic, because I really like to design furniture. The place where the Cleveland Indians play will always be Jacob's Field, and drawing with a pencil and paper will always beat out Photoshop. Cleaning my room with music blasting makes me happy. Funny, cause I've been unanimously voted the messiest in my house. When I think of the house I will own when I'm older, it involves a library, an art studio, floor-length windows with ivy crawling up the panes, and a roof I can easily climb on. It also involves secret passageways and those creepy paintings with spyholes for eyes. My kids are getting a treehouse whether they want one or not. As it turns out, I didn’t have to swim to Europe.
