Our favorite set of events are the Olympic athletics events. These will start at the second half of the Tokyo Summer Olympics 2021, from July 30, 2021.
Certainly, we are looking forward to what will happen on the track; especially for the big races – the 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 4×100 meters, and 4×400 meters relays.
If Jamaica is in it, we are watching it. Nuff said.
We encourage you to plan accordingly and prepare for some late-night sessions. Hydrate, rest up, and let’s go!

This book shares some of the delicious cuisine found in Colombia; from empanadas to arepa boyacense, and bandeja paisa to arepa de huevo. Colombian street food is especially important in Colombian culture because it brings people together. They enjoy sitting in groups with family or friends, blocking off the sidewalks and alleyways as they devour tasty morsels of Colombian cuisine steeped in spices and ingredients.
