World Cup Day 2... Begins

Good morning! It feels good to wear clean clothes! On the way to get the tickets for today’s game, USA-England, we stopped at Lion’s Park where I found the shot glass for Sahar and the first gifts for Vivis. Breakfast was a spicy curry chicken turnover which reminded me of the Empanadas Argentinas... a lot of meat and hot sauce.

I’m watching Korea beat Greece 1-0 in the second half and it seems like the ball picks up speed off the bounces. Several players have difficulty catching up with and controlling the ball. Oh Korea just scored the 2nd goal... it looks bad for Greece. There was a sleeping hyena, a couple of lions dragging themselves around, a giraffe who seems to be asking... “Please adopt me and take me home.” I wanted to open the gates and just let them all out into the open land around the park. As expected, frustration is taking over the Greeks who are now playing choppy soccer. With Korea in control of the match we’ll probably see a red card soon. The referee could use his body language/stronger verbal warnings to bring the game back into total control. Adrian and I will start our journey to Rustenburg as soon as this game is over and this time I do have the memory card for the camera.
