18 Days in August, an Olympic Blog

It is time to leave behind the wonderful memories of Athens in these Olympics and head back to New York, where undoubtedly more will be said about the effect of these games on the city, its people as well as the reaction of the rest of the world. However, as all of us stand now at the peak of elation from this wonderful fortnight, we can still begin to look forward to experiencing something as memorable in 2008 as the terrific moments Athens was able to offer. We are extremely lucky to have been here.
