I never got to see the events, but I was in town as the flame came through for the Atlanta Olympics. Pat Head Summit brought it into town and Lee Greenwod sang "God Bless The USA" on a special stage. I don't think I was old enough to drive yet, but it made quite an impression.

Now my sister-in-law works for the Latvian Olympic Committee and I'm waiting on some of the cool stuff she's sending us next week.

The entire down town area of Atlanta was a sea of humanity.

Atlanta as well.
Saw too much baseball, went to soccer and womens basketball.
No finals and only saw the USA play their first baseball game. My dad got the cheap tickets so it wasnt nearly as exciting as it could have been.
