Our London vacation starts in just under two weeks (yay!). So it turns out we’ll be on vacation during part of the upcoming Olympics in Torino. Maybe we’ll end up rooting for the UK!
In tomorrow’s New York Times travel section there’s a rundown of the seven cities vying to be candidates to host the 2014 Winter Olympics. (The 2010 games will be in Vancouver.) I don’t know much about any of the applicants, but of course I won’t let that stop me from picking an early leader based on totally superficial criteria, like their official website. I’d have to say Sochi, Russia, has the most solid web presence so far. Salzburg‘s site gets an honorable mention if only for the edelweiss; have they hired Julie Andrews as a spokesperson yet?

if you guys have time, come over to brussels and i’ll make u taste the best chocolat and bière in the world!
Seriously, about Salzburg. It’s got instant Olympic catch-phrase potential. Like, “The hills are alive, with the sound of skiing!” or “How do you solve a problem like…excessive LUGE traction?”
(ok, maybe not so much…)
