Farewell Soccer (boo hoo)

June 28, 2010 by Caren

Oh well  ……. Bafana’s out, USA is out, Mexico lost today so now it’s time to stand firmly behind Ghana, who played a magnificent game and deserve to move to the finals.  Watching the World Cup has been amazing, the worldwide camaraderie has been magnificent and all the “chatting” on Facebook with friends all over the world before the games, during and after, has only added to the excitement.   Getting up at 6am, taking the dog for a walk and having my first cup of tea and a game at 6:30 has become a ritual, one that I adore!  Whatever will I do without it?

I’m soon to find out as I depart again to the Cook Islands today.  The solar eclipse I am off to see occurs at the exact moment of the kick off for the final game.  🙁  I’ll be on the island of Mangaia (again!) where the ladies who run the island school are furiously trying to find out if there is a way to get tv reception for this game, fingers crossed that they’ll be able to pull it off.

Good luck to SA for a magnificent final two weeks!!

About Caren

Caren Banks was born in Paris, France; grew up in South Africa and has now been in the States for almost 35 years - and, wow, had to use her fingers to work that out. Does this mean she's getting younger? Except for 6 years in the 80's when she lived in Connecticut, she's spent the entire time in the Hollywood area in Los Angeles, and the last 20 years or so in the safari business in one form or another.
