Have you caught it yet?

It’s called the world’s “beautiful game”, and is watched by millions, especially during the World Cup. Lucky for us, team USA! USA! USA! has landed at the top of their Group, and made it through to the Round of 16, where countries will now face single elimination.

Make sure you watch it this weekend, and I guarantee you will catch the fever!

In fact, I think a lot of people will be calling into work with the “sick” bug in the next few weeks, while they stay home to cheer on their team!

This weekend’s schedule (check ESPN for local times):

SAT JUN 26

Uruguay v Korea

USA v Ghana

SUN JUN 27

Germany v England

Argentina v Mexico

With powerhouses such as last World Cup finalists France and Italy already sent home, this tournament promises some exciting match ups and a new winner.

Adventure on, and “Viva la futbol!”

Every year for Valentine’s Day I like to send out a picture of “LOVE”.

This year’s photo is a heart-shaped puddle. I found it in either Belize or Guatemala, I can’t remember. According to the date-stamp, it was a travel day for me, so I’m not sure which side of the border I was on when it was taken. I do remember that the heart shape and reflecting sunlight caught my eye, and made me unload my backpack to get at my camera, since I decided back then that I wanted to photograph it for this precise post, so I hope you enjoy it! It only goes to show you…sometimes you find LOVE at the weirdest times and in the places you never imagined.

Check out my past year’s Valentine’s Day blogs:

A woman from Santiago Atitlan, Guatemala on her morning walk. From the vividly colored style of dress to the painted walls, I absolutely love the colors of Guatemala. Makes me smile just thinking about it on this cloudy, gray Seattle day.
