World Cup Fever 2

This time, Rwanda style. These pictures are from Gisimba Orphanage in Kigali (Mosquito Stadium to be exact). ISU donated some soccer balls and needless to say they were an upgrade from cloth filled with sand! 

Whoooops

Sorry. Can't blog. Too busy attempting to soak up vitamin D between rain showers, play with my new kitten Dharma, catch World Cup games, work, go on interview(s), annnnnd spending every other second - absorbed in Half the Sky by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn.

Heads up - I'm starting to toy with the idea of  making it required reading for anyone who wants to be my friend.

World Cup Fever 1

I may know little about soccer (football), but a little bit of World Cup fever is too fun to pass up! & naturally, I'm a sucker for the idea of it all - countries of the world coming together to share a common interest and have fun while doing so?! Hell yes. 

During my time in Cairo I was fortunate enough to attend two FIFA Y20 Cup games, and they were fuuuun. Red, Black, and White painted faces. Drums, horns, and flags everywhere. MISR! MISR! MISR! I can only imagine the energy in South Africa for the big boy games! Sending waves and wishes of fun, safety, and a bit of jealousy to my dear friend Ian who is in the heart of it all!
