1996 Atlanta Olympics Trip

1996 Atlanta Olympics Trip

Total Cost:  About USD 500 (Tickets, Accommodation, Gas etc)
Events Watched; 
.......Marathon End, Olympic Stadium USD 22/person
.......Hockey: USD 10/per person

Olympic Main Stadiun, Marathon End

    

Accommodation: Tent in State Park about 50km from last stop on MARTA Subway line.  May have been about US 10-15
   Dinner:  Cooked at Campsite
   Breakfast and Lunch:  Olympic Village   
 
So we did two days of the Olympics (28th and 29). I would have liked to see the Marathon.  Better to have watched it on TV. Hockey was to spend another day on the cheap.
There were two young women also camping near our campsite.  Got the same idea, cheap accommodation to see Olympics.

We returned thru Great Smoky Mountains.  Photos might be in the other three albums.
