Sochi is a resort city in Southwestern Russia. It will be quite accessible to Europeans. Sochi has an average temperature of 80 and 81 degrees during July and August, and rarely goes below freezing in the winter. You can see palm trees in the city, which is odd for a town hosting the winter Olympics. Most assuredly, we will be learning a lot more about this city over the next five years.
