So today was filled of joys and sorrows, I like ending on a high note so I will begin with the sorrows. Well, actually it was only a singular major sorrow - USA lost to Ghana in their 2nd round match up in extra time. It was a very disappointing game - the USA had many chances, however they could no finish. Ghana prevailed in extra time. So bad news that we won't get to see USA play in the quarterfinals in Jo'burg at Soccer City Stadium next week. However, it will be pretty sweet to see Ghana play. You don't know who is from Ghana and who is from all of the other African nations represented here in the World Cup. Everyone, including all 48 million South Africans, is rallying behind the Black Stars of Ghana. Africa is united as one.
Now for the joys...I hiked up Lion's head today...it was a tough climb but the view from the top is definitley worth it (see video for proof). Even more joyful = Mama Bear and Mighty Joe Young (my mom and my brother joe) got into Cape Town tonight. I was out watching the USA game while GPop picked them up from the airport...I got back from downtown Cape Town to see Joe gracefully snoring the night away in our hotel room. Looking forward to continuing the South African journey with them as well!
Oh yea, Cape Town is definitely the second prettiest city I have ever been to. Second only to Hartford of course!
