Vacation in Review, Day 9 - Sochi, Russia

We spent the day in Sochi Russia.
 Sochi is site of the 2014 Winter Olympics.
We went to check out the Olympic Village.  


 All around Sochi there is LOTS of construction going on, but it sure seems like there is MUCH to do.
 Will they be ready?
There isn't much of an infrastructure.
 However, construction is not my first thought.  Russians need to brush up on their hospitality.
If they are going to host the WORLD, they need to be more friendly to visitors!
This is also where Sharon and I got a surprise crash course in Squat toilets.  That blog is up next!

Eating my way through Boston

I spent the week in Boston for work, and some of the people I was working with were huge food buffs.
They easily talked me into trying lots of local food.

Flatbread Pizza: I found this to be the best Pizza, I've ever hard.
