World Phenomenon

I greatly apologize for my negligence in updating my blog in the last month. You see, in the last month, we all discovered a world phenomenon for the first time…something known as the World Cup. I have never been much of a soccer fan, but there is something about the camaraderie and unity of this sport that brings people together. Especially when you are on the continent that is hosting the biggest competition literally in the world (soccer is known as the “world’s sport”…everywhere but America!). I never realized how much the world actually stops every four years for this one month. So in true African fashion where the beloved sport is soccer, we became part of the craze. Almost every night we walked around the corner to the new and hip neighborhood sports bar and watched the match with everyone else in town (literally everyone else…we made some really good friends in this month). And my love for soccer grew….as well as my neglect for things such as blogging and emailing.

Above is a pic of some of us at the World Cup finals with our fellow soccer fanatics.

Now back to productivity...
