That does look like a beautiful spot to explore! I would love to get to see some more of the world some day, and I always love to hear about places a little more off the beaten path. I tend to find really crowded places much less enjoyable, even if they are really historic and interesting. I keep forgetting that the Olympics are being held there next year. They are hosting the US Olympic marathon trials here in Atlanta in February, though, so myself and some friends are planning on finding a spot along the course to cheer on the runners. Should be a fun way to get ready to watch the actual events in the summer. :)
Olympics qualifiers sounds interesting. It's nice they make an event out of that especially since they represent the country and the people should be involved. When I saw the winter Olympics I watched an Ice Hockey game. I don't know what summer Olympics sport I would choose. Maybe baseball or some martial arts.
I've never gotten a chance to be close to any Olympic action, so this should be fun to at least catch one of the qualifying events! I was still a teenager when they held the Olympics here in 1996 and didn't have an opportunity to go. Though I think I would appreciate it much more now. Though the running will be fun to watch as a runner myself, beach volleyball would be my dream to catch in person! That's always one of my favorites.
Beach volleyball is a good one, too.
