I meant Athens, Greece, everyone. :emblaugh:
Off topic, but the US Olympics men's soccer team did not qualify (the women did, though), so...I suppose it's better to cheer on the next best thing.

Only for one season in university. There is nothing like rowing to get you in shape. If you row in pairs, four or eights you also have to get everyone perfectly together. When a boat clicks, there are few things like it in the world. Makes the feeling that you are going to die after 5 km hurt a little less.

Thank god I never had to row to Florida
