Going for Gold!!
I had the incredible opportunity to go to the Paris 2024 Olympics. I love the Olympics. It's the one time every four years that the individuals put aside our individual differences and cheer on not only the folx from our countries but also the triumphs of the human mind, body & spirit. Truly the Olympics is a time when the best of us can shine and I'm not referring to just the athletes. Paris is also one of my favorite places in the world so having the opportunity to combine things I love in one fantastic trip was LITERALLY a dream come true. I was recently visiting my folx and found a childhood journal in which I wrote a Bucket List. The movie starring Morgan Freeman had been released recently and so it was fresh on my 13/14 year old brain even though the characters are nearing the end of the journey on the earth. In any case created my own bucket list. Alongside the ones I grew out of (get married, have a kid) were ones I still haven't achieved (learn to swim & fly a plane), ones I've checked off tenfold (visit Paris, live aboard) and not a big one is done: Go to the Olympics.
While there I had the opportunity to experience a few activations, check out some beautiful venues and of course actually attend some matches. I was able to see Badminton, W Football (Brazil v Japan), Beach Volleyball (AT THE BASE OF THE MF EIFEL TOWER!!!!!), Skateboarding, Breaking (Dancing), BMX Freestyle, 3x3 Basketball.
I even went to Disneyland Paris while I was there so again I just did a series of things I love. This is an experience I will look back upon often. Until next post....laters
