September 6, 2017: Remembering the Albertville Olympics

Twenty-five years ago the Winter Olympics of 1992 were hosted by Albertville France from 2-23 February.  My wife Diane and I were on a road trip from Annecy to Aix-les-Bains to Grenoble when we decided to make a last minute detour to Albertville.  A nice village with reasonable hotel prices and we picked up some Olympic memorabilia.  In our stroll around the town I captured this photo of wall murals.  1992 was the last year the summer and winter Olympics were held in the same year.
