all we saw were some flags and some pandas that rather unique stadium which was mostly the work of a swiss company yeah i hate to say it i think the olympic flame is kind of burnt out over the years although i have to admit that saying the torch in the space was kind of neat i think that when and if the world ever becomes an ideological battle ground again then the olympics will become worth watching but for now it's just generic sports from generic countries a generic stadiums but that's just my opinion. the black sea coast is one of russia's top tourist destinations sung see and the best one in the country has to offer but if those weren't good enough reasons on their own to come here there's also a little mystery but i want to get to the bottom of. my long ago there was a man named brown who's come to russia's black sea coast to grow grapes and make wine he might not have been my ancestor the namesake in the cries of the region seen in the past excuse for a visit. one bottle of the family wine if there was another one i was going to find it and if i had to have a few of the local vintag
