From Cheryl: Hello from Alpensia, the Mountain Olympic Venues. I wanted to show you around a bit. There is so much more to see over the next two weeks. It’s always about 10 degrees colder in this area because of the wind and elevation. It looks a lot like mountain resort buildings you’d see in Vail. It is so beautiful! The artwork stands out to me. There are a lot of beautiful sculptures.
