Cue music, cue lights. . .

Now, if they would have just cued the pictures. Unfortunately, we are missing the hoopla of the Summer Olympics down here, as SkyTV, which is the broadcast partner of the Olympics, has decided not to show it down here in Costa Rica.

The national channels do show some of the events--when there is a Costa Rican athlete involved. Considering that the entire Costa Rican team consists of 12 folks, the options are somewhat limited.

With an extremely slow Internet connection, we are reduced to reading about things after the fact (which kind of sounds like a lot of folks back in the States with NBC delaying a lot of the coverage). Unfortunately, we can't watch the streaming online events, as it is too choppy and cut up. Maybe in 2016, as we can't foresee any larger team from down here for the Winter Games.
