where in the world is steph.... Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? -- Mary Oliver

YASAS!!!!! Well I have been increadibly busy lately. As you all know the olympics are done, and I have met that with relief and a little bit of sadness.Today is my first day off sinceI got here a little over a month ago.Leading up to the end we all got in to see different events, had numerous dinners and parties. For closing ceremonies we went over to the chefs apartment. They live across the street from the stadium. So we watched closing on tv, with fireworks in the background....amazing. Not as great as the people i work with that managed to walk in with the athletes but amazing non the less. We are all stoked for China now and are talking about wether or not we think we can do it, four years is a long ways away:). after the ceremonies we went to the international brodcast center for the athens olympic broadcasting party were the drinks were free, and everyone was there. it was great fun, howeverbeing at work the next morning was very tiring to say the least. The other night we went to dinner in the Monastraki area, all the chefs and people we live work with and some greek friends we made. The women who was in charge of organizing the olympics showed up at the same place for dinner, so the camera crews were out in full force. It was hysterical . But everyone's favoret olympic moment happened our last day, yesterday. After we packed up the last of the venue and sealed the truck, we headed<BR>over to the indoor pool (diving and water polo pools). We walked right into the building, through an office, and out onto the area around the pool. We proceeded to jump in, in full uniform all terrified we were going to get caught and kicked out. No one bothered us in the end, in fact the cleaning crew stopped to watched and gave us applause. We jumped of the diving platforms, pretended to sycronize swim and took way too many pictures. It was a great way to end the olympics. Goodbyes have already begun, I did my first airport run this moring.. Last night we were taken out to dinner by the company. First we had coktails at the galaxy bar on top of the hilton. it has an amazing view from the terrace. then we tried (some of us  more succseful than others) to catch cabs to this really nice restraunt.Tomorrow the company is sending us on a day cruise to two islands. should be great. and then i am off to......turkey! i am going with three people from work, all aussies. but we talked to a bunch of people who work for AOB that have been, and all told us how wonderful i t was. I don't know how long i will be there, aweek or two.So I may not e-mail for a while.I am running out of time, but hope all is well. Love and miss everyone.cheers,
