Paris Olympics 2024: Key dates to know

New Jersey State

This week, I’m trying my best to stop humming the Marseillaise and daydreaming of Paris for at least a few days, because I’m heading to one of the greatest events in the world – Germany’s CHIO Aachen, which brings together the very best of all the Olympic disciplines (and some besides – there’s also combined driving and vaulting on the go!) in a venue that can only reasonably be described as Disneyland for horsey folks. It’s an extraordinary place, with permanent stadiums, an equine walk of fame, stunningly maintained facilities, shopping that will make you have a little cry, and horses, as far as the eye can see. Perfect. No notes. I can definitely get my head out of the Paris clouds for a few days for that. Keep it locked onto EN this week for full reports from the eventing, starting with Thursday’s first horse inspection, and a closer look at how life unfolds in this special place.

Virginia fans of The Young and the Restless have asked where Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy) has been. She has not been seen or mentioned in Genoa City for quite a while. There is nothing online about Sarpy's status, and Y&R spoilers for next week do not mention the character, so fans wonder if she has been let go.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

Paris is an amazing destination, but it can be even more fun if you know a few insider hints. I have been traveling to France since 1979 when I did my junior year abroad there. I became a French teacher and have been back to Paris around 25 times. Each time I go I learn something new, and many things can help someone enjoy the city more if you know them. Here are a few to help you.

The water in the Seine River — the Paris waterway serving as the venue for the open water marathon swims and first third of the triathlon — is dirty. So dirty that a recent report in June published by the Paris region and Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s office noted the river still contained high amounts of fecal bacteria, including E. coli, making it unsafe to swim in.
