Is the next summer Olympics at Rio?

Don't feel too safe there either.

Neither do I.

While someday I would love to see the Olympics, I'll only go if they are held someplace where I would feel safe, like the U.S.

Even then, that's no guarantee, but it's better than Sochi, or Rio!

Was Yuban, then changed to Plaid Pants due to forum upgrade, and apparently, I'm back to being Yuban.

Guess I should have gone when they were in Atlanta. But then it too had its pipe bomb incident. We did get to see the torch pass by here . . .

That was a great point...I forgot about that...it was a home grown terr orist!

I have been to 3 Olympics (Sapporo, Innsbruck, L.A.). I have been to Rio and consider it a dangerous city. I also lived in Germany in an areA that was beset with terrorism and feel I have a good ability to assess danger. If I were planning a trip to Sochi, I would cancel NOW.
