I just saw that the surfers competing at the olympics are staying on cruise ships near their venue.

Much better accomodations than the village where those staying there will be sleeping on beds made of cardboard

Looking forward to the summer of Summer in the pool. She has a chance to bag multiple medals in Paris.

If Elliot isn’t broadcasting swimming, I’m not watching.

/actually I’m traveling so I won’t be watching anyways and if there are any pics worth seeing I’m sure puckhead will post them

Yeah, I don't think you want a sexual abuser as your flag bearer, but maybe that's just me. Can't believe Zverev even got that close.

Hopefully not the last image from the volleyball court, but this looks pretty neat.

Wonder if they will be able to clean the shit out of the Seine for the triathlon.


Was there over a month ago and this is the other side on Pont d'lena

Essentially where that volleyball stadium is was all closed off, like a few other parks they were setting up for olympic events like in front of Invalides.
At night the logo was lit up. Sorry I am awful at taking photos.

And not sure if anyone saw the commericals for the opening ceremonies but they were still building the grandstands on Pont Alexandre III

And here is the countdown clock. It was along the river near the Eifel tower.

Sorry I didn't share sooner, but the amazing part for me was the fact how much work they still had to do with 60 days to go.

The immigrants got the last of the real beds in the city. For free too.

The surfing competition is in Tahiti which is about 10,000 miles from Paris - I don’t think they get too many immigrants there.

When you fund your country with debt instead of funding it with work that is what happens. They wait until the last second and then rush it.

It was said the village beds were made of cardboard. They are made of cardboard because the immigrants got the real beds.

You are capable of following that part of the conversation. I know you are.

Fun fact, you need to be a French citizen to legally work in Tahiti.
