This week features a week long adventure as a fan, spectator, and visitor at the Winter Olympics in Whistler. Gotta love those connections, i had a wonderful week with AP friends wining, dining, and enjoying all that makes the Olympics a wonderful event. This particular selection highlights the highlight of my visit to the Whistler Sliding Center (WSC) to watch the 2-man women’s bobsled finals. Great sport, amazing access, and unbelievably sore calves from hiking the entire length of the track and back. See it a little bigger. And what adventure would be complete without a Prague sighting?
