RIO TO GET 2016 SUMMER OLYMPICS, CHICAGO ELIMINATED FIRST

As a fellow Chicagoan transplanted to Georgia I am bummed that the 2016 Olympics will not be hosted by Chicago. Would have been a good reason to go back home for vacation that summer. But hey Chi Town cannot compete with RIO when it comes to BEAUTY!!!

Chicago was eliminated on the first round of votes! So Obama's pitch did not seem to do the trick. In one way I am glad of that, he might get a big head about somehow convincing the Olympic committee to do as he says. I mean he is pretty used to having things go his way after he makes an eloquent speech! But it was not to be this time around.

So maybe I will plan a trip to RIO in 2016.......Now that would be a real vacation!

Take care all and have a great weekend!

Glad to see Rio got it too. Considering South America has never had one, it was time.
