Football Frenzy

When I google football, I get this image:

Call it football or call it soccer.  Everyone is buzzing about the World Cup here.

The water cooler talk is all about last night's game.  All the neighbor kids are kicking soccer balls at our car.  Most restaurants blare the games.  A flag war has even broke out in our compound.

We have embraced the World Cup.  Both Jonathon and I enjoy soccer and we were excited about being surrounded by enthusiasts.

Jonathon proudly displayed a bracket in our dining room.

We were all excited to follow along and watch the World Cup, until we realized that most the games are played during the night Doha time.  Turns out we are fair weather fans.  You really have to be a die heart to watch the 1AM games.

So, instead of watching the World Cup we have been spending time with friends before people take their summer vacations.  This included eating sushi:

Science in the real world.  This is what the tide looks like with a full moon near the longest day of the year.  Who doesn't want their beach chair in the ocean?

I'm terribly late on wishing June birthdays.  Happy birthday Tami, Alan, Ashley, and Allison.  I like you all very much even though I forgot to say it.  Happy anniversary Darel.
