A tear for Paris

My heart bleeds for Paris — because London won the bid to host the Olympics in 2012. I had rooted for Paris despite the fact that my own beloved New York City was pitching for the right to host the Olympics 7 years from now. I don’t know if it was because I had fallen in love with Paris, or simply because the passion with which it pursued its dream captivated me as well… London must be no less deserving but I would have shared the victory of the French had they bagged the right to hold the torch come 2012. I had taken the picture to the left during my visit there when the city was awash with their now famous sign — what would’ve been their logo had they been successful in their bid. |
