FUTBOL!

Yesterday we went to the championship game of the Vodacom Challenge. Each year an English Premier team comes down and plays two South African teams in this tournament. So for this final game we witnessed the face-off of the Kaiser Chiefs and Manchester City. We bought 100 Rand tickets, but weaseled our way into the sold out 50 Rand section so that we could experience the true South African futbol culture. There was dancing, singing, lots of horn blowing...we even got free plastic drums :) Cheap Seats = So worth it.

The final score was 1-0 Chiefs!

Small Pleasures

There is nothing quiet as beautiful as a rainy Washington day spent reading and basking in the glory of the Mariners a top the AL West



Break has been good to me so far :)

Premature Hope?

The Seattle Mariners opened the regular season last night with some excitement. Our hometown hero, Ken Griffey Jr. made himself known with his 8th career opening day homer. With a dominating win of 6-1, the Mariners put a smile on all Seattle fans.

However...

Is it too soon to hope for a .500 season? Is it too soon to print the championship pennants? Is it too soon to wear the mariners gear?

We shall soon find out :)

Somebody save my little broken sports heart!
